Torsion of many symmetric structures, which were designed based on the seismic codes, is
due to their asymmetricity induced during inelastic behavior. Although the structure was …

Torsion of structural frames is one of the main causes of damage to structures during
earthquakes. Accordingly, this study investigated the effects of torsion on frame structures …

Irregular buildings constitute a large portion of the modern urban infrastructure. The group of
people involved in constructing the building facilities, including owner, architect, structural …

Because of torsion, the demanded strength and interstory drift at certain parts of the structure
increase above those required by just translational deformation. These effects differ for …

Torsion in base‐isolated structures using bilinear rubber isolators effected by two horizontal
components of earthquake simultaneously is investigated under various principal …

Considering that a comprehensive review of past work in this field is available, this paper
focuses on the description of two recently developed procedures to incorporate the effects of …

Previous earthquake disasters have shown that irregular structures tend to cause torsional
damage. Although scholars all over the world have contributed much in torsion effect of …

Sažetak Earthquake damages at the buildings perimeter showed that even symmetric
structures could exhibit torsion vibrations. The Seismic Design Codes include a simple …

Due to earthquakes, many structures suffered extensive damages that were attributed to the
torsional effect caused by mass, stiffness or strength eccentricity. Due to this type of …

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