Although buildings are excited by translational and rotational earthquake components, only
translational components are considered in seismic loads. The effects of earthquake …

Significant dynamic torsional amplifications are known to occur in asymmetrical buildings
when subject to earthquake excitations. The torsional effects are commonly taken into …

The torsional responses of asymmetric structures to earthquake ground motions have been
studied intensively in the past few decades. However, no study has been reported regarding …

A comprehensive review is made of research studies on inelastic torsional coupling effects
in asymmetric buildings subjected to severe earthquake ground motions" The aim has been …

This paper presents a detailed parametric study of the coupled lateral and torsional
response of a partially symmetric single storey building model subjected to both steady state …

Asymmetric building structures arise frequently in civil engineering practice as a result of
architectural or other requirements. Collapse and widespread severe damage of buildings …

The goal of the present paper is to study the adequacy of torsional provisions in the
international buildings code (IBC) for irregular building taken into account effect of the …

The non-linear response of in-plan asymmetric systems has been extensively studied since
the 1980s. Nevertheless, most of the research effort has been devoted to the study of …

In this work a seismic analysis of structure associated with the complete description of
ground motion components is performed. All earthquake excitation components …

A series of parametrically defined experimental model structures has been tested under
earthquake base loading using the SERC national UK earthquake simulator. The models …
