The main objective of this paper is to select an appropriate shape of building with optimum opening which can resist the seismic forces. In our report, we are going to compare the different shapes of building for various zones having diaphragm discontinuity (i.e. openings in slab) by using ETABS Software. Base shear, storey shear, storey drift, overturning moments, storey displacements, time period and modal mass of different structures for various zones will be compared and optimum percentages of openings will be found out. Dead loads, Live loads, Earthquake loads & Wind loads will be applied as per Indian Codes. The different shapes of building with and without diaphragm discontinuity will be analysed by Response Spectrum Method
