Abstract
The recent edition of building codes for earthquake resistant design specify a dynamic analysis procedure for computing lateral forces on
buildings with irregular plan or vertical irregularities. This paper presents the use of the instrumented response of two buildings to strong
ground motion for determining vibration properties and distribution of lateral forces. The two buildings were selected for the irregular
features in their configuration, and the results illustrate the difference in lateral force distribution for type of building and amplitude
of earthquake response.
