This paper explores the influence of Structure-Soil-Structure Interaction (SSSI) between a pair of buildings, one of which is unsymmetrical in plan and hence subject to seismically induced coupled torsion/sway motions. A reduced-order parametric model of this system is proposed and validated using f...
