Because of the torsional vibration of a building during an earthquake, the displacement
demands on the different resisting planes of the structure may increase relative to those of a …

The problem of earthquake induced torsion in buildings is quite old and although it has
received a lot of attention in the past several decades, it is still open. This is evident not only …

According to the recent earthquakes, the asymmetric buildings suffer from severe damages
caused by increased torsional response. The new seismic codes try to take into account this …

Structural engineers often come across buildings, which exhibit certain degrees of plane
symmetry. It may even exist in a nominally symmetric structure, because of the uncertainty in …

Nonlinear dynamic analysis is becoming an accepted procedure to assess the performance
of building structures during earthquakes. Several documents have emerged to provide …

An attempt has been made to explore the general trends in the seismic response of plan‐
asymmetric structures without any restrictions imposed by a particular code. Systems with …

The response of any building during seismic loading conditions might be affected by several
factors, the horizontal torsion effect which generated by the eccentricity between centre of …

In this paper, effect of torsion on the inelastic responses of structures resting on a nonlinear
flexible medium is studied. Similar studies have shown that soil–structure interaction can …

Structures experience lateral deflections under earthquake loads. Magnitude of these lateral
deflections is related to many variables such as structural system, mass of the structure and …

Structural engineers often come across buildings, which exhibit certain degrees of plan
asymmetry. It may in fact even exist in a nominally symmetric structure, because of the …
