As earthquakes continue to threaten structural safety, nanomaterials have emerged as a transformative innovation in earthquake-resistant construction. This study explores the potential applications of nanomaterials, emphasizing their role in improving the seismic resilience of structures. By analyzing key nanomaterials such as carbon nanotubes, nanosilica, titanium dioxide, nanoalumina, and nanocellulose, this research evaluates their impact on mechanical strength, durability, and energy dissipation in structural materials. Empirical findings highlight that nanosilica fiber-reinforced concrete can increase bearing capacity by 37.8% and improve ductility, demonstrating substantial seismic performance enhancements. Additionally, nanotechnology-integrated smart materials enable real-time monitoring of structural conditions, improving disaster prevention strategies. A systematic review synthesizes advancements in nanotechnology, assessing both benefits and challenges, including costeffectiveness, the ability to apply these technologies efficiently on a large scale while maintaining performance and cost-effectiveness, and environmental impact. Furthermore, a conceptual framework is proposed to guide the integration of nanomaterials into construction, offering a roadmap for their adoption in earthquake-prone regions. Future research should prioritize pilot applications, regulatory adaptation, and economic feasibility to enhance widespread implementation of nanomaterials in the Architecture, Engineering, and Construction (AEC) industry.
