Multistorey buildings are becoming popular from the last few years due to their compact and space utilization concept due to increase in population and industrialization. This enables the accommodation of more people and offices in the vertical structure by using limited land area. The stability of structure is an important aspect against all the forces. The damage and collapse of any structure against the seismic forces may be due to structural irregularities i.e., horizontal or vertical irregularities. The discontinuity or drastic change in the lateral strength and stiffness of any storey in structure due to any reason become the main cause of failure against the seismic forces.
