Using five-story shear models, the inelastic torsional coupled response of eccentric
buildings to different earthquake intensity was studied. Results show that the torsional …

The earthquake response of torsionally coupled buildings is presented for a wide range of
the system parameters. By comparing these responses with those of corresponding …

In major seismic events, a number of plan-asymmetric buildings which experienced element
failure or structural collapse had twisted significantly about their vertical axis during the …

Nowadays, buildings with irregular forms are often constructed, in which torsion
phenomenon is induced during seismic loading. This phenomenon is not simple to define …

Displacement controlled behavior is a feature of low to moderate seismicity areas where the
peak displacement demand on structures could be limited despite significant structural …

Accidental eccentricity is aimed to account for any unforeseen factor that may attribute to the
torsional response. These sources can be broadly classified into two components, namely …

In order to investigate the effects of torsion on moment and shear values of vertical structural
elements, a typical model building has been selected. Torsional irregularity has been …

Time history response analysis on three-dimensional models of multi-story asymmetric-plan
buildings with nonlinear behavior considering both uni-directional and bi-directional …

Effects of building asymmetry in an earthquake are typically taken into account in a static
analysis by incorporating an offset of the design seismic forces from the centre of resistance …
