Experimental behaviour of inelastic mass-asymetric multi-storey buildings under seismic loading

Buildings with non coincident centres of mass and stiffness respond in both translation and rotation during seismic ground excitations. This translational and rotational interaction (torsional coupling) can lead to excessive forces in some structural members. This could possibly lead to structural f...
