Abstract - The performance of a multi-story framed
building during sturdy earthquake motions depends on the
distribution of mass, stiffness, and strength in both the
horizontal and vertical planes of the building. Many
structures in the modern era feature odd elevation and plan
arrangements. These structures are more vulnerable to
earthquake forces. The more significant elements that
reduce a structure's seismic behavior are structural
imperfections. Reduced base shear, which attracted fewer
seismic forces, was mostly caused by the effectofdiaphragm
openings just on the seismic response of multi-story
buildings. The structure can benefitfromefficientstrength&
serviceability thanks to the placement of apertures. It is
important to determine how well the structures can survive
disasters. Gaps in the floors are common for a variety of
reasons, including stairs, illumination, and architectural
purposes. These openings in the diaphragms result in
tensions at the joints where thebuildingelementsterminate.
Discontinuousdiaphragmsaremadewithoutconsidering the
effects of gaps and are assumed to be adequate. In this work,
an effort has been made to determine the differences
between the seismic responses of two buildings with and
without irregularities. Using E.TABS 2017 software, the
seismic response of an existing building having diaphragm
irregularity will be compared to a building with diaphragm
discontinuity in the current study. There has been a linear
dynamic analysis done. For the modal base shear,storydrift,
stiffness, and displacement the results of two buildingshave
been compared.

1. INTRODUCTION
The behavior of the building is significantly influencedbythe
structural configuration or placement of structural
components. Buildings withastraightforwardandconsistent
layout have been demonstrated to sustain less damage in
previous earthquakes. Inertia forces are createdinabuilding
when it is subjected to a seismic dynamic stress, and they
concentrate at the building's Centre of mass [1]. A place
known as the Centre of stiffness of the building is where the
lateral resisting pressures of vertical structural elements,
such as columns and shear walls, resist the seismic inertia
forces. The building will become eccentric if the Centre of
mass and the Centre of stiffness are not in alignment. A
building develops eccentricity due to its atypical
configuration, which causes torsion in the structure [2]. A
building develops eccentricity due to its atypical
configuration, which causes torsion in the structure. The
torsion that causes a building to be damaged is significantly
influenced by the location, size, the orientation of structural
members [3].
In vertical or horizontal planes, regular buildings don't
have any noticeable discontinuities in mass, stiffness, or
strength. Contrarily, irregular structures have these
discontinuities that concentrate stresses and deformities in
the area of the discontinuity [4]. This could cause structural
components to fail at their joints and cause the structure to
collapse. Vertical irregularity is the unequal distribution of
stiffness, mass, & geometry along the length of the building,
while horizontal irregularity is the discontinuity in the
building's plan. Usually, the buildings have these
imperfections for both aesthetic and practical reasons [5].
The position, kind, and degree of abnormalities present in
that mostly determine the size of the building's response.
Buildings' performance under the effectofseismicloadcould
be ensured if all these factors are wisely taken into account
throughout the design process [6].
A multi-story building is one that has more than four
levels and can have up to twelve or more. In towns and cities
with a higher population density, multi-story buildings are
frequently found. Engineering can do very little to protect
people and property from earthquakes, which are the most
destructive and unpredictable of all-natural disasters. There
are a number of regulations that have been updated
frequently on this subject. Stiffness, appropriate lateral
strength, ductility, simple and regular configurations,
and other elements all affect how a building responds to an
earthquake [7].
In comparison to irregular structures, buildings with regular
geometry and evenly distributed mass and stiffness in plan
and elevationsustain substantially less damage. Themodern
generation's needs and demands, however, as well as the
expanding population, have forced architects and engineers
to build irregular arrangements. Because of this,
understandingtheroleofbuildingconfigurationshasbecome
one of the main problems in earthquake engineering [8].

Definition of Irregularity in IS 1893, An irregular
distribution of their mass, strength, and rigidity along the
height of the building may be the cause of theirregularitiesin
the building structures. The design and analysis are more
difficult when certain buildings are built in high seismic
zones. The aim of this paper to study the seismic behavior of
g+8 multistorey vertical irregular building in seismic zoneIV
under medium soil conditions using ETABS [9]. Vertical
Irregularities define as the lateral force resisting system in a
storey has a horizontal dimension that is more than 150
percent larger than that of the storey directly below. Vertical
Geometric Irregularity is thus thought to apply to the
construction. Herewehadtostudytheparameterslikestorey

4.ANALYSIS AND RESULTS-
4.1 STOREY DISPLACEMENT:
.
The graph shows, the displacement of building with
geometrical irregularity has more displacement in both X
and Y Direction which is approximately 7% more than the
regular RCC building.
4.2 STOREY DRIFT:
The graph shows the drift in regularRCCbuildingislessthan
the story drift in building with geometrical irregularity in all
story in x- direction and the max story drift in regular
Building is 8% less than the max drift in IBG building where
as in y-direction the story drift in building with geometrical
irregularity is observe less than the regular building in 7th
story due to geometrical irregularitywhichisapproximately
7% less than the regular building but both are within
permissible limits and the max story drift in y-direction in
regular building is approximately 16.36% less than the
Geometrical irregular building.

4.3 STIFFNESS:
The graph shows, the stiffness of building with
geometrical irregularity has almost same stiffness in X-
direction as it is in regular building. In Y-direction
maximum story stiffness of Geometricalirregularbuilding
is approximately 42% more than the regular RCC
buildings
4.5 STOREY SHEAR:
The graph shows, the storey shear of building with
geometrical irregularity has more in X- direction and less
in Y-direction and maximum storey shear of geometrical
irregular buildingis approximately6% moreinx-direction
and 64% more in y- direction than the regular RCC
buildings.
5.CONCLUSION:
The purpose of this study was to analyze and compare the
seismic performance of the G+8 Story H Shape irregular
buildings for different models at varying location. THE
RESPONSE SPECTRUM method was used, and results were
found in terms of base shear, story displacement, story drift,
story stiffness and maximum story drift. The results of
analysis for the models following conclusions can be drawn.
The maximum values of STOREY DRIFT of Model 2observed
in x and y-direction are approximately 7% & 16.34% more
than the values observed in Model 1 in the respective
direction. Similarly the maximum values of STIFFNESS of
Model 2 observed in y-directions is approximately 42
percent more than the values observed in Model 1 in the
respective direction. . In this study maximum value of base
shear is observed in Model 1(REGULAR) building and
minimum value is seen in Model 2(IRREGGULAR).Thevalue
of base shear in Model 1 building is more than Model 2. The
story displacement remains constant but with increase
geometrical irregularity in story height of building there is
an exponential rise in top most storey which is
approximately 7% more than the regular building. The
maximum value of story displacement observed at top most
story of building for both the modelsincreasesgraduallyand
exponentially. Hence it is concluded that regular building
perform best when it is subjected to seismic loading.
