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 …

Modern codes for earthquake resistant building design require consideration of the so-
called accidental design eccentricity, to account for torsional response caused by several …

A new enhanced multi-modal pushover procedure based on the structural dynamic theory
with a straightforward and easy-to-use algorithm is developed in this study for estimating the …

A comparative analysis of responses obtained with typical design procedures that consider
accidental eccentricities to provide torsional strength to buildings is presented. Design …

This paper presents a simple method based on modal response spectrum analysis to
compute internal forces in structural elements belonging to gravity framing not part of the …

Most of the research work on the torsional effect of the accidental eccentricity has been
based on single-storey building models. Although the accidental eccentricity parameter is …

The static design approach in the current code implies that the inherent torsional moment
represents the state of zero inertial torsional moments at the center of mass (CM). However …

The response of any building during seismic loading conditions might be affected by several
factors, the horizontal torsion effect which generated by the eccentricity between centre of …

Asymmetric distribution of mass over the floor slabs can cause torsional effects in buildings,
even when it is symmetric in strength and stiffness. Such systems are referred to as mass …

Seismic responses of buildings are amplified due to torsion. To account for the effects that
cause torsion and are not considered in the design process of buildings, the seismic codes …
