Abstract:Irregular buildings that occupy a certain proportion on regional scales are prone to suffer serious damage from earthquakes due to the influence of lateral-torsional coupling effect. However, the current regional seismic damage simulation methods are mainly based on two-dimensional simplified models, which cannot take into account the spatial characteristics of irregular buildings. In addition, the refined finite-element method is unsuitable for the simulation of a host of buildings on a regional scale. This p… Show more
