Preface
Structural regularity was a logical preference for traditional civil engineering design when the hand, static calculations motivated early researchers to simplify structural models. What is more, application of the simplified separate, planar models of the actual three-dimensional structures in most cases resulted in a conservative design. However, when it comes to modern structural dynamics and earthquake engineering, the results of similar simplifications are quite the opposite. The actual three-dimensional seismic response of irregular structures generates substantial
