Earthquakes are natural hazards under which disasters are mainly caused by damage or collapse of buildings. In the present scenario, most of the buildings are designed and constructed on the basis of aesthetics which happens to ignore the basic principles of earthquake resistant structure, where we come across many buildings having irregular configurations both in elevation and plan. Openings in the floors are common for many reasons like staircases, lighting, architectural and etc. these openings develop stresses at discontinuities. IS (1893-2016) Diaphragm discontinuity irregularity is defined to exist where there is a diaphragm with an abrupt discontinuity or variation in stiffness.
