Abstract : Climate change has amplified the frequency and intensity of extreme weather events, including high winds and seismic activity, necessitating a paradigm shift in structural design. This paper explores innovative approaches to enhancing the resilience of buildings and infrastructure under combined wind and seismic loads. By integrating advanced materials such as high- performance concrete (HPC), smart materials, and composites, alongside dynamic structural innovations like base isolation and aerodynamic modifications, the research aims to improve structural adaptability and durability. Computational techniques, including Finite Element Analysis (FEA) and probabilistic risk modeling, are discussed as tools for optimizing designs and predicting multi-hazard responses. The paper also highlights the significance of retrofitting strategies and evolving building codes to address emerging challenges. Case studies on high-rise buildings and critical infrastructure provide practical insights, emphasizing the importance of sustainable, resilient engineering practices. This study underscores the critical need for interdisciplinary solutions that balance technical performance with environmental sustainability to safeguard communities against the dual threats of wind and seismic hazards.
