Abstract: There is no general consensus among researchers for selecting appropriate set of ground motions for the evaluation of inelastic seismic response of plan-asymmetric structures. In this backdrop, the role of important ground ...

Abstract: Bidirectional analyses covering a range of incidence angles for several records are essential yet challenging for routine design. Recent studies have shown that the response to bidirectional shaking may be estimated per ...

Abstract: This study examined the inelastic seismic behavior of low-rise systems with varying story eccentricities (i.e., general class of eccentric systems). Seismic demands of such systems were found to be potentially high relative ...

Abstract: Lateral load-resisting structural members, such as piers, are often analyzed under one component base excitation. The influence of bidirectional shaking is accounted for by using a simplified 30% rule. During seismic ...

Abstract: Estimating seismic response of reinforced concrete (RC) structures under bidirectional excitation covering admissible incidence angles is computationally challenging and time-consuming for routine design. Further, such ...

Abstract: Extreme seismic vulnerability of bidirectionally eccentric structural systems such as street corner buildings has been demonstrated repeatedly during past severe earthquakes. Inelastic range response of such structural ...
