Abstract
Implications of the experimental results on the adequacy of seismic design provisions are discussed. In addition, the ability of analytical software to predict inelastic torsional response is discussed for both a model tuned to the measured dynamic properties of the actual structure and a model based on common modeling assumptions. Further, the effects on prediction accuracy of different analytical modeling parameters and assumptions are discussed.
