Earthquake rotational loading refers to the rotational forces that buildings and structures experience during an earthquake. While most seismic design and analysis focus on translational forces—those acting in a linear direction due to ground shaking—rotational loading recognizes that the ground motion during an earthquake can also induce rotations in structures. This can happen due to uneven ground movement, torsional effects, or irregularities in a structure’s geometry.
