Ratio of Torsion (ROT): An index for assessing the global induced torsion in plan irregular buildings
(TECHNO-PRESS, 2015-01-15)Due to earthquakes, many structures suffered extensive damages that were attributed to the torsional effect caused by mass, stiffness or strength eccentricity. Due to this type of asymmetry torsional moments are generated ...
