Introduction
 Asymmetric structures are almost unavoidable in present day construction
due to the functional and architectural requirements.
 In Asymmetric structures, the lateral Torsional coupling due to eccentricity
between Centre of Mass (CM) and Centre of Rigidity (CR) generates
Torsional vibration even under purely translational ground shaking.
 During shaking inertial forces act through the centre of mass (CM) and the
resistive forces act through the centre of rigidity (CR) due to this non-
concurrency of these points inertial force and resistive force induces
twisting of the structure in additional to the lateral vibration.
As per IS 1893 Part 1 (2002)
 Provision shall be made in all buildings for increase in shear forces on the lateral force resisting elements
resulting from the torsional moment arising due to eccentricity between centre of mass and centre of
rigidity.
 The design forces calculated as described (Modal Mass/Modal Participating factors) are to be applied
at the centre of mass appropriately displaced so as to cause design eccentricity between the displaced
centre of mass and centre of rigidity. However, the negative torsional shear shall be neglected.
 The design eccentricity, edi to be used at floor ‘i’ shall be taken as:
edi = 1.5esi + 0.05bi
Or
edi = esi - 0.05bi
Whichever of these gives the more severe effect the shear of any frame where
edi = Static eccentricity at the floor i defined as the distance between the centre of mass and centre of
rigidity, &

bi = floor plan dimension of the floor i, perpendicular to the direction of forces.

In case of highly irregular buildings analyzed according to (Modal Mass/ Modal Participating factors)
additive shears will be superimposed for a statically applied eccentricity +/- 0.05 bi with respect to the
centre of rigidity.
Experimental Study on Torsional Response Control of Frame-shear
Wall Eccentric Structure Using MR Dampers
Xiu Ling Li and Hong Nan Li
 Magneto rheological (MR) damper are applied to reduce the response of the asymmetric
buildings in this paper.

 The shaking table experiment of one 3-floor frame-shear wall eccentric structure with and
without MR dampers is implemented by using rapid control prototyping (RCP) technology
(Li, 2005).

 The experimental results show that the coupled translation and torsion response is
significantly mitigated, and the location of the MR dampers has an important effect on the
control results.
Conclusion:

 The results show reasonably good agreement between the simulation results and the measured
data.

 The experimental results show that the coupled translation and torsion response is significantly
mitigated, and the location of the MR dampers has an important effect on the control results.

 MR dampers were used in conjunction with a modified clipped-optimal control strategy to

control the torsional response of a 3-storey reinforced concrete frame-shear wall structure.

 It is found that the coupled translation and torsion response is significantly mitigated with MR
dampers under different earthquake excitations.

The study one model of regular structure and one model of vertical irregular structure of G+9 storey is
considered.
•The analysis is carried out by using FE package of ETABS software by equivalent static method and time
history method.
•For equivalent static analysis zone V is considered and the Bhuj time history record is taken for the time history
analysis.
•The results of various parameters like time period, storey displacement, and storey stiffness are obtained and the
graphs are plotted
•The models are provided with different seismic resisting systems such as dampers, shear wall, infill wall and the
enhancement in the seismic performance is studied.

CONCLUSION:
The conclusions obtained from the analysis and results of the present study can be
summed up as follows:
 The time period and storey displacement was found to be reduced as compared to that of bare frame with the addition

of dampers, shear wall and infill wall.

 The storey stiffness was found to be increased as compared to that of bare frame with the addition of dampers, shear

wall, infill wall.

 The time period, storey displacement and was found to be more in case of regular structure as compared to that of

structural model with vertical irregularity.

 The structural models provided with dampers was least effective in reducing the time period, storey displacement,

and in increasing the storey stiffness of the structure compared to that with bare frame.

 The structural models with vertical irregularity provided with shear wall gave better performance in increasing the

stiffness of the structure.

 The seismic response of the regular structure is better in comparison with that of irregular structure because of the

discontinuities along the height of building.

Conclusions:
In this paper modeling of multistoried building with plan irregularity is done. In accordance with IS1893-
2002 for simulation purpose finite element analysis Stadd-Pro V 8i is used following conclusions are
formed after studying T-shape and L-shape Building with variation of height.

• Increase in height of L-shape & T-shape building directly increase in relative displacement & stress at re-entrant
corners

• Architectural Relief is given for L-Shape building relatively considerable decrease in displacement and stresses at re-
entrant corners.

• A T-shape building with shear wall and without shear wall is analyzed and the stress developed at re-entrant corners
is uniform.

• From above the Observation, it is concluded that Architectural Relief is the better solution on the re-entrant corner on
which maximum earthquake damage is done.
