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 …

This article proposes a simplified method for determining the elastic radius ratio of the multi-
storey reinforced concrete building. The elastic radius ratio is the benchmark parameter of …

A simplified approach of assessing torsionally balanced (TB) and torsionally unbalanced
(TU) low-medium rise buildings of up to 30 m in height is presented in this paper for regions …

This paper presents a study into the effects of stiffness and strength eccentricities on
inelastic earthquake response of asymmetric structures. Previous studies in this area have …

This paper introduces the use of a simple stochastic model for predicting elastic response
spectra of 5% damping for structures founded on rock sites in Singapore based on …

Simplified method of analysis of a special class of torsionally coupled buildings with
horizontal setbacks is developed that can be executed with a plane frame analysis by …

This paper presents results from an extensive study investigating the seismic performance of
soft-storey buildings. Such buildings rely on the moment and axial action of slender columns …

Soft storey buildings are common in regions of lower seismicity and are considered
particularly vulnerable due to their limited displacement capacity. This paper presents a …

In shear wall-based buildings, locating the shear wall in plan has an important role in the
resistance of seismic loading. In this article, the minimum torsion is considered as one of the …

Large-magnitude long-distance earthquakes generated from Sumatra have significant
potential engineering implications in Singapore and the Malaysian Peninsula due to …
