Abstract: A method of constructing a planar model for the analysis of relatively complex three‐dimensional tall‐building structural systems is proposed. The buildings may be asymmetric in plan, and composed of orthogonal intersecting ...

Abstract: A hand method of estimating the period of free vibration of building structures, for use in determining the minimum base shear for their earthquake design, is presented. The method is for structures that have uniform ...

Abstract: The trend towards more slender and lighter building structures has resulted in potentially more significant

Abstract: An approximate method for determining the seismic base shear of high‐rise building structures on the basis of the preliminary design information is presented. The method is based on the generalized representation of the ...

Abstract: The lateral load resistance of tall wall‐frame building structures comprising a combination of moment‐resisting frames and shear walls that are reduced in size or terminated entirely at intermediate heights is investigated. ...

Abstract: A method to predict the degree of translational-torsional coupling of mixed-bent-type multistory building structures subject to dynamic loading is presented. The method is based on the treatment of nonproportionate structures ...

Abstract: An approximate method for estimating the drift of multi‐bent structures is presented. Structures that are singly or doubly symmetrical in plan and comprising any combination of shear walls, coupled walls, rigid frames and ...
