The nonlinear response of structures is usually evaluated by considering two accelerograms
acting simultaneously along the orthogonal directions. In this study, the influence of the …

Earthquakes which recently occurred in highly populated regions show that existing
buildings constructed without appropriate seismic resisting characteristics may constitute as …

The three-dimensional inelastic earthquake response of a seven-story reinforced-concrete
building during the 1994 Northridge earthquake is studied herein. The objectives of this …

In the twenty-first century, the seismic design of buildings seems to have become a fully
recognised topic. There are guidelines and standards which should be taken into account by …

Three 1: 12 scale 17-story RC wall building models having different types of irregularity at
the bottom two stories were subjected to the same series of simulated earthquake …

The nonlinear dynamic response of reinforced concrete (rc) framed buildings subjected to
near-fault ground motions is studied to check the effectiveness of current code provisions …

The trends of irregular building construction have rapidly increased due to aesthetic and
limited availability of land. Past studies have shown that the structures with configuration …

The aim of the present paper is to evaluate by means of nonlinear dynamic analysis four
different procedures for the selection of sectional forces needed for the design of R/C …

Asymmetric structures have demonstrated poor seismic performance while experiencing
major earthquakes in the past. Such structures exhibit complex vibration characteristics …

Torsional irregularity, such as beam discontinuity and asymmetry in plan, can be seen
widely in common buildings and it has a considerable effect on seismic performance of a …
