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 …

Analytical studies on the nonlinear earthquake response of single storey asymmetric
structural models since the early 1960's are reviewed, with particular emphasis on structures …

The effects of plan asymmetry on the earthquake response of code-designed, one-story
systems are identified with the objective of evaluating how well these effects are represented …

Nonlinear Seismic Analysis and Design of Reinforced Concrete Buildings: Workshop on
Nonlinear Seismic Analysis of Reinforced Concrete Buildings, Bled, Slovenia, Yugoslavia, 13-16 …

In view of the stronger vulnerability of horizontally irregular structures during earthquakes,
numerous studies have been made since mid-1950 s. Unfortunately, research progress in …

Previous studies have demonstrated the good performance of friction dampers in symmetric
frame structures subjected to earthquake excitation. This paper examines their effectiveness …

This paper presents results of a parametric study of seismic induced lateral-torsional-
pounding responses of an asymmetric and a symmetric one-storey system subjected to bi …

The present paper refers to the definition of the torsional stiffness radii of multistorey tall
buildings using both the continuous and the discrete model of the structure. The magnitude …

The equivalent static eccentricities of seismic forces are usually defined by codes with
simple expressions of the static eccentricity. This paper presents certain formulae for the …

In order to seismically assess an asymmetric single-storey reinforced concrete (r/c) building,
the basic method of analysis proposed by all contemporary seismic codes is static nonlinear …
