Reinforced concrete buildings make up the majority of Australian building stocks. The buildings generally consist of core walls and/or shear walls as lateral load carrying elements and moment resisting frames as gravitational load carrying elements. The core and/or shear walls are often eccentrically located in the buildings resulting in a large displacement demand on the moment resisting frames that are located at the edge of the buildings. Seismic assessment methods for asymmetrical buildings commonly involve three-dimensional dynamic analyses that can be computationally expensive. This paper presents a simplified analysis method that has been developed to provide estimates for the maximum displacement demand of multi-storey buildings featuring plan asymmetry. The studies form a part of a collaborative research under the Bushfire and Natural Hazards Cooperative Research Centre (BNHCRC)on {\textquotedblleft}cost-effective mitigation strategy development for building related earthquake risk{\textquotedblright}.
