Torsion is nothing but twisting moment induced in structures. Torsional effects may significantly modify the seismic response of buildings and it caused severe damage or collapse of structure in several past earthquakes. These effects occur due to different reasons, such as uneven distribution of the mass, stiffness and strength etc. This is well known that torsion adversely affects the response of conventional structures, as well as base isolated structures. In buildings mass asymmetry is usually present at different floor level This mass asymmetry may be due to water tank provided at top of building, any heavy weight machine placed at any level, etc. Due to this mass asymmetry in building center of mass is shifted from center of stiffness causing eccentricity. As this eccentricity increases, torsion in building also increases. So torsion is based on the static eccentricity and floor plan dimension which is effective for irregular structures. Right from the evolution of the earth, earthquakes have been cause great disasters in the form of destruction of property, injury and loss of life to the population. The effective design and construction of earthquake resistant structures has much greater importance in India due to rapid industrial development and concentration of population in cities. From the literature review it is noted that torsional effect was little addressed for multistorey unsymmetrical building. Hence in this dissertation an attempt has been made to study the nonlinear behavior of building structure subjected to seismic loading, considering torsional effect. IS: 1893 (Part 1)-2002 is used for this dynamic analysis. Time history analysis will be carried out and response quantities viz. natural time period, base shear, torsional moment, displacement will be obtained. The plan layout of the reinforced concrete ordinary moment resisting frame is consider with infill walls, without infill walls and shear wall. Seismic response of ten storey (G+9) symmetrical and unsymmetrical (L-shape) building with Plan irregularity is considered for study purpose. The plan areas of building is 15mx15m (symmetrical) and 15mx24m ((L-shape) with 3.0 m as height of each typical storey. The modal analysis will be done by using MATLAB/simulation and the results will be validated using standardized ASCE paper. Keywords- Torsion,symmetrical,unsymmetrical, Time-histoy,analysis, MATLAB.
