An Investigation on the Torsional Effects of Asymmetrically Distributed Shear Walls, M.Sc. Thesis Sharif University of Technology ; Moghaddam, Hassan (Supervisor)
Abstract
By investigating reports of severe and destructive earthquakes of the past years we have realized that shear-wall structures most of the times had better seismic performance and more reliability than moment resistance frames. Asymmetrical arrangement of shear walls due to architectural limitations caused distortions in the structure. On the other hand, seismic regulation don’t compliance existence of twisting moment in the structures. What was said are all the most important reasons for not employing asymmetric shear wall sets in the structures by designers. The purpose of this study is to compare the seismic behavior of symmetric moment frame structures with seismic behavior of symmetric...
