This document presents a comparative analysis of the seismic behavior of regular and irregular buildings through finite element modeling and time history analysis. Three 9-story building models are analyzed: a regular structure, and two irregular structures with and without a slab at the first story. The irregular structures show higher story displacements and lower story stiffness than the regular structure. Additionally, increasing the thickness of the first story slab in one irregular model reduces story displacements and drift compared to the other irregular model without a slab. In conclusion, structural irregularities affect seismic response quantities like base shear, stiffness, displacements and drift, with increased structural robustness at irregular locations helping to improve performance.
