This study presents a systematic optimization methodology for minimizing lateral displacement in reinforced concrete (RC) high-rise buildings subjected to combined wind and seismic loading. Grounded in Smith–Coull frame–wall interaction theory and validated through three-dimensional finite element analysis (ETABS 2022), the procedure was applied to a representative 20-story RC structure (H = 72 m) in Thai Nguyen, Vietnam, designed per TCVN 2737-2023 and TCVN 9386:2012. A two-stage optimization strategy was developed: (i) maximizing the non-dimensional stiffness parameter.......

This paper proposes an integrated Building Information Modeling (BIM) and Data Mining model to improve the efficiency of high-rise building construction management.The model was implemented in practice on a 25-story high-rise apartment building with a total floor area of 32,000 m² in Thai Nguyen City, during a construction period of 24 months (January 2024 – December 2025).The actual construction data includes daily labor logs (a total of 1,642 workers-days during the floor slab concrete pouring phase), material costs for each structural item (total material value of VND 70.6 billion), actual progress compared to the EVM.......
