This study investigates the inelastic torsional response of plan asymmetric ductile RC
buildings with a soft first story. The buildings of Rectangular, L, T, and U plan shapes are …

This paper aims at giving structural designers guidance on how to transform seismic
demand on a building structure from two-dimensional (2D) to three-dimensional (3D) in an …

Buildings possessing an asymmetrical arrangement of structural elements are torsionally
unbalanced and can be vulnerable in a seismic event. Building codes of practices typically …

In the current work, a series of seismic analyses of one-storey asymmetrical reinforced
concrete (R/C) framed buildings is accomplished while the effect of soil deformability on the …

Most buildings feature core walls (and shear walls) that are placed eccentrically within the
building to fulfil architectural requirements. Contemporary earthquake design standards …

The drift demand of plan-asymmetric buildings in low seismicity regions was studied by
employing Incremental Dynamic Analysis to track the influence of torsion. A stepped …

The paper introduces simplified methods for the analysis of multi-storey buildings for regions
of low to moderate seismicity. Due to functional and architectural requirement most newly …

In mitigating the effects of climate change, life cycle assessment (LCA) has been proposed
as a design tool to facilitate the choice of structural typologies, materials and floor plan …

Reinforced concrete buildings make up the majority of Australian building stocks. The
buildings generally consist of core walls and/or shear walls as lateral load carrying elements …

Reinforced concrete (RC) buildings possessing plan irregularities can be subjected to
significant torsional actions. The torsional behaviour of buildings depends on their torsional …
