L-shaped buildings subjected to ground accelerations undergo coupled lateral and torsional
vibrations that can result in critical stress concentrations at their re-entrant corners. Even so …

The primary constructions on hill slopes of India's seismically active Himalayan regions are
sloping ground buildings. Based on rapid visual screening, many of these towns have …

Photonic crystals or man-made periodic materials own band gap characteristics, which can
block the elastic wave propagate through the structure and can be used to mitigate the …

Depending on the characteristics of the existing buildings, earthquakes can cause damage
at different levels and have a significant impact on the environment. The structural damages …

Multi-story, reinforced-concrete (RC) building structures with soft stories are highly
vulnerable to damage due to earthquake loads. The soft story causes a significant stiffness …

Architectural aspects of buildings, such as the shape of the plan, play an important role in
defining the seismic behavior of the building and the future damages structural and non …

It is well understood that the dominant approach in the seismic design of structures is to
reduce the initial cost while meeting the required safety level, as dictated by compliance …

Irregularly designed structures frequently experience greater damage compared to regular
buildings as a result of elevated torsional reactions and stress concentration, as indicated by …

The reinforced concrete (RC) frame-shear wall structure is a typical structural system for
modern high-rise buildings. This paper investigates the influence of vertical setback on its …

Irregular reinforced concrete framed buildings are peculiar and their seismic response is
difficult to predict using simplified approaches. The irregularity in structural configuration is …
