* cm: Story drift at center of mass (cm)


n/n+1 /h: (cm/h)n/(cm/h)n+1: Ratio between drift ratio at CM of a stotry and that of story above

Vertical irregularities type 1a, 1b, 2 and 3 do not apply if drift ratio of each story is less
than 1.3 that of next story above (i.e. n/n+1 /h < 1.3). Story drift ratio of top two stories are not considered

Stiffness-based flexible story check is not required!


It can be considered that vertical irregularities type 1aA, 1bA, 2A and 3A DO NOT EXIST !
Use: Øa = 1

Kn: Stiffness of story n, in ton/cm


Kn/Kn+1: Ratio between stiffness of story n and that of store above n
Kn/Kavg3: Ratio between stiffness of story n and average stiffness of three stories above n

Stiffness-soft story irregularity is considered to exist if Kn/Kn+1 < 0.7 or Kn/Kavg3 < 0.8
Stiffness-EXTreme soft story irregularity is considered to exist if Kn/Kn+1 < 0.7 or Kn/Kavg3 < 0.8

Stiffness-flexible story irregularity types 1aA and 1bA do NOT exist.

Notes:
The determination stiffness-soft story irregularity (vertical structural irregularity types 1a and 1b) is conducted

Wn: Effective weight of floor n, in ton


Wn/Wn+1: Ratio between weight of floor n and weight of floor above n
Wn/Wn-1: Ratio between weight of floor n and weight of floor below n

Weight (mass) irregularity is considered to exist if effective weight of any floory is more than 1.5 times
the effective weight of an adjacent floor. That is, if Wn/Wn+1 > 1.5 or Wn/Wn-1 > 1.5.
A roof that is lighter than the floor below is not considered.

Weight (mass) irregularity (2A) does NOT exist.
