| Abstract: | The paper presents an overview of the progress in research regarding seismic response of plan and vertically irregular building
structures. Three areas of research are surveyed. The first is the study of the effects of plan-irregularity by means of single-storey
and multi-storey building models. The second area encompasses passive control as a strategy to mitigate torsional effects,
by means of base isolation and other types of devices. Lastly, the third area concerns vertically irregular structures and
setback buildings. Although fewer papers have been published in this last area with respect to the former ones, this state-of-the-art
reports extensively on research efforts and progress into the seismic behaviour of irregular buildings in elevation to show
the growing interest among specialists in the field. |
