torsion irregularity using response spectrum case

torsion irregularity using response spectrum case

(OP)
hi,

Does anyone know the procedure to verify, while using the results of response spectrum case, if the building is irregular versus torsion so we can amplify the initial eccentricity? i think we should create some sort of combination using the resulting mode !! any ideas ?

i would be grateful.

thank you.

RE: torsion irregularity using response spectrum case

I compare the displacements at the diaphragm extremities to the displacements at the diaphragm centre.

Should become apparent by a visual inspection of the layout of the lateral resisting elements. Whether the the structures has the ability to resist the lateral forces and has a system to resist the torsion without significant displacements and high concentration of forces to occur.
