Seismic Response Analysis of a Reinforced Concrete Block Shear Wall Asymmetric Building

This paper presents detailed analyses of experimental results pertaining to the cyclic behavior of a reduced-scale reinforced masonry (RM) asymmetric building with walls aligned in two orthogonal directions. The current study focuses on analyzing the influence of twist, as a system-level effect, on the displacement and strength demands of the building’s individual seismic force resisting system (SFRS) wall components. The study evaluates the …
