Many reinforced concrete buildings in Australia are laterally supported by reinforced concrete cores/shear walls that are eccentrically located in the buildings. The structural elements at the edges of the asymmetrical buildings can be subjected to a significant displacement demand, making this type of buildings highly vulnerable in an earthquake. Seismic assessment methods for asymmetrical buildings commonly involve three-dimensional dynamic analyses that can be computationally expensive. This paper presents a simplified analysis method for multi-storey buildings featuring plan asymmetry. The method has been used to assess the seismic vulnerability of asymmetrical reinforced concrete buildings in Australia.
