| Abstract | ||
| Modern codes for earthquake resistant building design require consideration of the so-called accidental design eccentricity, to account for torsional response caused by several factors not explicitly considered in design. This provision requires that the mass centres in the building floor be moved a certain percentage of the building | ||
| Key Words | ||
| accidental eccentricity; torsion; multistory steel buildings; inelastic response; plastic hinge model | ||
