Due to the increase in the demand of the people regarding some marvelous designs that are expected from the architects, architects are designing some irregular shaped designs that are a big challenge for the structural engineers to convert these designs into reality. As the irregularities increases in the structure there are some unwanted stresses that are created at various locations of the structure that causes the failure of the structure. These stresses if not taken under consideration can result into loss of life and capital invested in it. Some of the locations that are present in the structures are some discontinuities that are created due to staircase opening in the slab or some architecture openings in the structures. In this research an attempt has been made to investigate that what are the effects of these discontinuities in the structure under the application of the seismic loads on the building. The analysis is done through a dynamic or non-linear method called as RESPONSE SPECTRUM.
