Effective Assessment of Inelastic Torsional Deformation of Plan-Asymmetric Shear Wall Systems

Torsional deformation may occur in plan-asymmetric wall structures during seismic events. In most current seismic design codes, the torsional deformation is handled using the concept of design eccentricity, in which design loads may be excessively amplified. This approach has limitations in accurate...
