A new ground-motion scaling and record selection procedure for asymmetric-plan buildings using the 2DOF-modal pushover method

Key Points

• Improved ground-motion scaling enhances structural safety for asymmetric-plan buildings, reducing risk during earthquakes.
• Key findings show that implementing the 2DOF-modal pushover method leads to better assessment of building responses.
• This analysis utilizes a novel record selection procedure aimed at optimizing building designs based on specific criteria.
• Indicates that the new method may allow for more resilient infrastructure, enhancing earthquake preparedness in urban areas.
