Abstract: Investigated are the steady-forced and earthquake responses of single-degree-of-freedom (SDF) systems with a nonlinear viscoelastic damper (VED), which consists of a nonlinear fluid viscous damper (FVD) connected in series ...

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 ...
