Large high-rise buildings move primarily due to wind forces and seismic activity. Engineers design these structures with flexibility to absorb and dissipate energy, allowing them to sway without sustaining damage. This movement is essential for maintaining the structural integrity of the building and ensuring the safety of its occupants. Additionally, materials used in construction, such as steel and reinforced concrete, contribute to this flexibility.
