High-rise buildings are very popular in places where land availability is an issue also in densely populated areas as it requires less space and accommodates a large number of People. Satisfying both residential and commercial needs in one building is a common solution in developing cities, such buildings consist of bottom stories which are used as Podiums for Malls & parking, etc. and top stories are used for residential purposes. Vertical irregularity is a common problem in such buildings because of discontinuity in load transferring mechanism. This problem can be solved by introducing the transfer floor which acts as a load transferring medium at the level of discontinuity. This paper primarily focuses on the effect of the transfer floor on the behavior of the building in the event of an earthquake by comparing the response of building with and without transfer floor.
