Abstract: A procedure is presented for evaluating building‐code provisions for accidental torsion from analysis of earthquake‐induced motions of nominally symmetric‐plan buildings. This procedure is used to analyze the motions of ...

Abstract: A simplified analysis procedure has been developed to consider accidental torsion in building design that is rational and convenient relative to building codes. This procedure is extended and evaluated in this paper against ...

Abstract: Recovery of damaged water supply systems after severe earthquakes is one of the priorities to return to normal conditions. Water supply systems are intrinsically interdependent with other important lifelines such as ...
