strength eccentricity and simultaneously increased the entire shear-torque resistant capacity of<br />

specimens. <strong>The</strong> associated consequence is that the BST surface of specimens is skewer and larger than<br />

that of specimen 1. This figure illustrates the different seismic capacity among different model structures<br />

directly. From the area covered by the BST surface of each specimen, it can roughly predict that the<br />

seismic behavior of each specimen will be changed differently in a certain way.<br />
