In this paper a simple model of a three story building with inclined first-story columns has presented. The stories are supposed to be rigid and are connected to axially rigid mass less columns by elasto-plastic rotational springs and linear rotational dampers. The considered model is subjected to horizontal component of fault normal pulse with different magnitudes and the governed nonlinear di...

Infilled walls are the major non-structural elements which have significant effects on the seismic behavior of structures. The shape and strength of the brick elements are the main parameters affect the strength of the walls. In addition existence of openings may have a reduction effect. To increase the strength of the wall and to improve its behavior, the borders of the openings may be strengt...

Direct displacement based design (DDBD) is a conceptual framework that directly design a structure to achieve an expected performance level under specified seismic intensity. In this study, two important issues relevant to torsional response of mass eccentric 8-story RC building designed with DDBD approach are investigated.
