Evaluation of the American Approach for Detecting Plan Irregularity by V. Alecci, M. De Stefano, S. Galassi, M. Lapi, M. Orlando

“…Linear static analysis is developed by progressively shifting the centre of mass, until the ratio between the maximum lateral displacement of the floor at the level is considered and the average of the horizontal displacements at extreme positions of the floor at the same level matches and even exceeds the value of 1.2. Then, nonlinear dynamic analyses are carried out to check the corresponding level of response irregularity in terms of uneven plan distribution of deformation and displacement demands and performance parameters. …”
