It is well known that the symmetric buildings have higher resistance than the unaymetric ones do under seismic load. However, it is sometimes inevitable to build an unsymmetric structure due to the site conditions or architectural needs. The unsymmetric building has structural disadvantages under seismic load. In such a case the structural seperation joints are often used to avoid those disadvantages. This paper presents a method to determine the width of the seperation joints for unsymmetric, reinforced concrete apartments structured by walls and slabs only. The variables of the study were the ratio of shear-wall stiffness to the building length in the same directron, the building height and the story mass.

Torsional response of buildings is attributed to poor structural configurations in plan, which arises due to two factors - torsional eccentricity and torsional flexibility. Usually, building codes address effects due to the former. This study examines both of these effects. Buildings with torsional eccentricity (e.g., those with large eccentricity) and with torsional flexibility (those with torsional mode as a fundamental mode) demand large deformations of vertical elements resisting lateral loads, especially those along the building perimeter in plan. Lateral-torsional responses are studied of unsymmetrical buildings through elastic and inelastic analyses using idealised single-storey building models (with two degrees of freedom). Displacement demands on vertical elements distributed in plan are non-uniform and sensitive to characteristics of both structure and earthquake ground motion. Limits are proposed to mitigate lateral-torsional effects, which guides in proportioning vertical elements and restricts amplification of lateral displacement in them and to avoid torsional mode as the first mode. Nonlinear static and dynamic analyses of multi-storey buildings are used to validate the limits proposed.

This paper deals with the development of expressions relating structural seismic response parameters to the epicentral distances of an earthquake and the natural period of several reinforced concrete buildings (6, 9 and 12 storey), with three floor plans: symmetric, monosymmetric, and unsymmetric. These structures are subjected to seismic spectrum of accelerations collected during the Boumerdes earthquake (Algeria, May $21^{st}$, 2003, Mw=6.8) at different epicentral distances. The objective of this study is to develop relations between structural responses namely: base shear, storey displacements, interstory drifts and epicentral distance and fundamental period for a given earthquake. The seismic response of the buildings is carried out in both longitudinal transverse and directions by the response spectrum method (modal spectral approach).

In this study, the results of an analytical investigation on the seismic behavior of two residential 4-story bearing wall buildings with pilotis, each of which has symmetric or unsymmetric wall arrangement at their piloti level, are presented. The dynamic characteristics and lateral resistance of the piloti buildings were investigated through linear elastic and nonlinear static analyses. According to the results, the analytical natural period of vibration of the piloti buildings were significantly shorter than the fundamental period calculated in accordance with KBC 2016. In the initial elastic behavior, the walls resisting in-plane shear contributed to the lateral stiffness and strength, while the contribution of columns resisting flexural moments in double curvature was limited. However, after the shear cracking and yielding of the walls occurred, the columns significantly contributed to the residual strength and ductility. Based on those investigations, design recommendations of low-rise bearing wall buildings with piloti configuration are given.

본 연구에서는 비틀림비정형성과 수직비정형성을 가진 RC 필로티 건축물의 지진동에 대한 거동을 층강성을 적용하여 간단하게 모델링하는 선형 동적해석 프로그램을 개발하고자 한다. 개발된 동적 해석 프로그램을 적용하여 필로티 건축물의 동적 거동 및 필로티층 각 기둥의 전단력을 분석하고, 필로티층에 전단벽 또는 가새를 보강하였을 때 보강효과를 평가하고자 한다. 모서리코어가 있는 필로티 건축물에서 필로티층의 코어 반대편 모서리를 전단벽이나 K형 가새로 보강하였을 때 변위와 기둥 전단력이 크게 감소하는 것으로 나타났으며, 모서리 양면을 K형 가새로 보강하는 것보다 한 면을 전단벽으로 보강하는 것이 보강효과가 큰 것으로 나타났다.

The severe shortage of the available sites in the highly developed downtown area in Korea necessitates the construction of high-rise buildings which meet the need of residence and commercial activity simultaneously. The objective of this study is to investigate the seismic performance of this type of building structures. For this purpose, two 1:12 scale 17-story reinforced concrete model structures were constructed according to the similitude law, in which the upper 15 stories have a bearing-wall system while the lower 2-story frames with infilled shear wall have two different layouts of the plan : The one has symmetric plan and the other has unsymmetric plan. Then, this model was subjected to a series of earthquake excitations. The test results show that the layout of shear wall has the negligible effect on the natural period and the base shear coefficient, but great effect on the failure mode of beam-column joint at flexible side frame.

본 연구에서는 진동제어를 목적으로 강성이 평면에서 비대칭적으로 분포된 구조물에 감쇠기를 설치할 경우 감쇠편심과 강성편심에 따른 모드특성 및 변위응답의 변화에 관하여 연구하였다 모드 특성으로는 고유진동수, 모드 감쇠비, 모드참여계수, 동적 증폭계수 등의 변화를 분석하였으며, 변위는 지진이력에 대한 약변, 강변, 무게중심 등에서의 변위를 비교하였다. 또한 이를 바탕으로 비틀림 응답을 최소화하기 위한 감쇠기의 적정 감쇠 편심 및 적정 감쇠 분배 문제에 대해 논하였으며, 단층구조물에서 유도된 적정 감쇠분배 방법을 다층구조뭍에 적용하고 그 효과를 확인하였다.
