Structural irregularities are one of the most frequent causes of severe
damages in buildings, as evidenced by the numerous earthquakes in recent
years. This issue is of particular importance, since real structures
are almost all irregular. Furthermore, structural irregularities depend
on several factors often very difficult to predict. This book is an
essential tool for understanding the problem of structural
irregularities and provides the most up-to-date review on this topic,
covering the aspects of ground rotations, analysis, design, control and
monitoring of irregular structures. It includes 24 contributions from
authors of 13 countries, giving a complete and international view of the
problem.
