Seismic Performance of Asymmetric Building StructuresAuthor(s): Chunwei Zhang, Zeshan Alam, Li Sun, Bijan Samali\nFormat: Hardback\nPublisher: Taylor & Francis Ltd, United Kingdom\nImprint: CRC Press\nISBN-13: 9780367903435, 978-0367903435\nSynopsis\nSeismic Performance of Asymmetric Building Structures presents detailed investigations on the effective assessment of structural seismic response under excessive torsional vibrations, demonstrating behavioural aspects from local response perspective to global seismic demands. The work provides comprehensive analytical, computational, experimental investigations, and proposes improved design guidelines that structural engineers can utilize to enhance the seismic design of asymmetric building structures.\n\nCombining extensive experimental and numerical data stock for seismic performance assessment with a particular focus on asymmetric building structures, the book includes:\n\n An overview of asymmetric building structures from seismi.
