Coupling between lateral and torsional motions may lead to much larger edge deformations in asymmetric-plan systems compared to systems with a symmetric plan. Supplemental viscous damping has been found to be effective in reducing deformations in the symmetric-plan system. This investigation examine

## Abstract Supplemental damping could mitigate the earthquakeβinduced damage in buildings with asymmetric plan, known to be more vulnerable to damage than comparable symmetricβplan buildings. This investigation aims to improve the understanding of how and why planwise distribution of fluid viscous
In this paper the e$ciency of various dissipative mechanisms to protect structures from pulse-type and near-source ground motions is examined. Physically realizable cycloidal pulses are introduced, and their resemblance to recorded near-source ground motions is illustrated. The study uncovers the co
The static design requirements of some seismic codes, such as the Eurocode 8 and-in most cases-the Uniform Building Code, to allow for the effects of earthquake excitation acting in a direction other than the principal axes of the structure do not apply to one-way asymmetric systems. Therefore, with
