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 paper presents evidence that the extension of conclusions based on the widely used
simplified, one story, eccentric systems of the shear‐beam type, to actual, nonsymmetric …

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 inelastic earthquake response of eccentric, multistorey, frame‐type, reinforced concrete
buildings is investigated using three‐and five‐storey models, subjected to a set of 10, two …

The elastic response of torsionally-coupled, one-story framed buildings to earthquake
ground motion is presented for a wide range of values of the various system parameters …

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 …

Discrepancies between the computed and actual values of the structural element stiffness
imply that a building with nominally symmetric plan is actually asymmetric to some unknown …

Presented in this paper is a detailed parametric study of the coupled lateral and torsional
response of single‐storey building models subjected to earthquake base loadings. The aim …

To deal with earthquake-induced torsion in buildings due to some uncertain factors, difficult
to account for directly in design, modern codes have introduced the so-called accidental …

The elastic and inelastic seismic response of plan‐asymmetric regular multi‐storey steel‐
frame buildings has been investigated under bi‐directional horizontal ground motions …
