Irregular engineering structures are subjected to complicated additional loads which are often
beyond conventional design models developed for traditional simplified plane models. This book
covers detailed research and recent progress in seismic engineering dealing with seismic
behaviour of irregular and set-back engineering structures. Experimental results as well as
special topics of modern design are discussed in detail. In addition recent progress in
seismology wave propagation and seismic engineering which provides novel modern modelling of
complex seismic loads is reported. Particular emphasis is placed on the newly developed
rotational seismic ground-motion effects.This book is a continuation of an earlier monograph
which appeared in the same Springer series in 2013 .
