The authors have presented the results of inelastic earthquake response analysis of a class of asymmetric building models and concluded that regularly asymmetric buildings excited well into the inelastic range may not be conservatively designed via modal analysis of their elastic models. The purpose of this short communication is to refer to the results in contrast to the authors' and to make some comments on their paper.
