A building with irregularities is susceptible to seismic damage, as evidenced by past earthquake incidents. To reduce the seismic damage to structures, it is crucial to detect the structural response to earthquakes, even in high seismic zones. The main goal of this study is to understand how the structure behaves in high seismic zone III. Other objectives include evaluating Story’s overturning moment, Storey drift, lateral displacement, and design lateral forces. For comparison, a 14-story structure with four completely different shapes—a rectangle, a sloped ground, a sloped ground with steel bracing, and a sloped ground with RCC bracing—is used. With the aid of STAAD.Pro 2016, the entire set of models was examined. At this moment, Comparative Dynamic Analysis for each of the four examples has been looked into to assess the structure's deformation. Results & Interpretation: The findings show that, particularly in high seismic zones, buildings with extreme irregularity create more deformation than those with less irregularity. The story’s overturning moment also changes inversely with the story’s height. When compared to buildings with irregular shapes, the story base shear for regular buildings is the largest. Sloping ground, sloping ground with bracing in steel, and sloping ground with bracing in RCC are all present in a rectangular building.

Key Words: Story Drift, Lateral Displacement, Bending Moment, and Static and Seismic Force.
