Evaluation of seismic design provisions for a drift and inter-story drift relationship [PDF]
WIT Transactions on The Built Environment, 2015 Maximum roof drift (RD) and inter-story drift (ISD) demands are important seismic design parameters since they are used to evaluate seismic hazard levels and performance state for structures located in seismic regions. ISD demand, especially, is an important seismic design parameter for evaluation of seismic performance of both structural and non ...

A simplified approach to modeling vertically irregular structures for dynamic assessment
Journal of Asian Architecture and Building Engineering, 2022 The nonlinear dynamic analysis is the most sophisticated evaluation method for vertically irregular structures under the effect of the earthquake because the higher mode effects are significant. In particular, vertically irregular structure has a complex
