Seismic Performance of Asymmetric Building Structures

Seismic Performance of Asymmetric Building Structures presents detailed investigations on the effective assessment of structural seismic response under excessive torsional vibrations, demonstrating behavioural aspects from local response perspective to global seismic demands. The work provides comprehensive analytical, computational, experimental investigations, and proposes improved design guidelines that structural engineers can utilize to enhance the seismic design of asymmetric building structures.Combining extensive experimental and numerical data stock for seismic performance assessment with a particular focus on asymmetric building structures, the book includes:

• An overview of asymmetric building structures from seismic damage perspective
• Local and global performance assessment of asymmetric structures under extreme seismic actions
• Post-earthquake damage evaluation from varying frequency trends
