Seismic Performance of Asymmetric Building Structures delves into comprehensive assessments of structural seismic response under excessive torsional vibrations, showcasing behavioral aspects from both local and global seismic demands. Through extensive analytical, computational, experimental investigations, and proposed improved design guidelines, the work aims to enhance the seismic design of asymmetric building structures.

Combining a vast experimental and numerical data stock for seismic performance assessment, with a specific focus on asymmetric building structures, the book encompasses:

• An overview of asymmetric building structures from a seismic damage perspective.
• Local and global performance assessment of asymmetric structures under extreme seismic actions.
• Post-earthquake damage evaluation from varying frequency trends.
• Extended numerical applications for experimental response validations.
• Evaluation of critical regions of asymmetric structures with stress concentration.
• Statistical distribution of seismic response under varying design parameters.
• Design guidelines for asymmetric building structures.

These comprehensive evaluations are conducted using modern sensing techniques meticulously designed to meet specific objectives, particularly emphasizing asymmetry in reinforced concrete and steel structures. The work assesses various aspects of asymmetric building structures that are often overlooked in the current literature, gathering valuable information from various building design codes and discussing their limitations in addressing damage-related challenges. This book is invaluable not only for practicing engineers but also for academics seeking to expand their knowledge in this field.
