Abstract: The earthquake response of torsionally coupled buildings is presented for a wide range of system parameters. Based on these results, it is demonstrated that the building response depends significantly on the static ...

Abstract: The earthquake response of torsionally coupled buildings is presented for a wide range of the system parameters. By comparing these responses with those of corresponding torsionally uncoupled systems, the effects of ...

Abstract: An effective procedure is developed for estimating the maximum response of a class of torsionally‐coupled, multistory buildings due to earthquake ground motion characterized by smooth response spectra. Several properties ...
