Unbalanced buildings, and buildings with light towers, under earthquake forces

Skinner, R.I. / Skilton, D.W.C. / Laws, D.A.

Torsionally unbalanced buildings, and buildings surmounted by relatively light towers, have special sensitive features which influence seismic forces and movements in them; this sensitivity arises when natural period of building in translational movement is close to torsional period in one case, or to period of tower in other case; such buildings call for special consideration during dynamic analysis; when building damping is low its behavior may differ dramatically from that which occurs when damping is high; discussion is confined to elastic buildings but takes account of damping.
