description Analytical studies are carried out on the elastic torsional response of single- and multi-storey building models subjected to earthquake motion. Effects of both the natural and accidental torsion are considered. The results of analysis are compared with the design provisions of the National Building Code of Canada (NBCC). It is shown that the NBCC provisions for the design of resisting elements on the flexible side are overly conservative. On the other hand, provisions for the design of elements on the stiff side are conservative in some situations and inadequate in others. Modifications to the design provisions are suggested which give design forces closer to the results obtained from a dynamic analysis, and are at the same time simpler than the existing provisions. It is shown that the ratio of the uncoupled torsional and translational frequencies is an important parameter governing the torsional response and it would be a good practice in design to achieve a value greater than 1 for this ratio.Key words: earthquake response, natural torsion, accidental torsion, elastic torsional response, design for torsion.
