Recent earthquake observations (e.g., 1985 Mexican Earthquake) confirm          that failures of buildings often involve the torsional mode of                  response.  Study of the data from the extensively instrumented                  buildings that appear quite symmetric.  This project, through the use           of simple models, will investigate the observed response of two low-            rise buildings, in both the elastic and inelastic domains.  The                 studies also will investigate the response of these same buildings if           subjected to a stronger earthquake.  Observations pertaining to                 provisions for future building codes will be provided.  The aim is to           develop a better comprehension of torsional effects arising from                seismic base motion.                                                                                                                                            This research would clarify the not yet well understood phenomena of            torsional effects in the dynamic response of low-rise buildings.
