Approximate analysis methods for asymmetric plan base isolated buildings.

An approximate method for linear analysis of asymmetric plan, multistorey buildings is specialized for a single storey, base isolated structure. To find the mode shapes of the torsionally coupled system, the Rayleigh Ritz procedure is applied using the torsionally uncoupled modes as Ritz vectors. Th...
