ABSTRACT
Setbacks in the volume of a building usually arise from the demands of urban design for illumination, proportion, etc. However, in seismic events they are the cause of abrupt changes in stiffness and mass producing a concentration of stresses in the floors near the site of sudden change. In general terms, one should ensure that the transitions are as gradual as possible in order to avoid such concentration of stresses. This study is intended to investigate seismic behavior of irregular building tube in tube systems, for this purpose seismic behavior of 40-story and 60-story reinforced concrete frame building with irregular plan was evaluated, seismic behavior of irregular buildings was assessed by overall building drifts, story drifts and shear lag behavior factors.. Higher irregularities in the overall plan structure of a building increase the phenomena of story drift and shear lag phenomena. Story drift and shear lag are higher for 60-story building than for a 40-story building.
