The document describes a procedure for checking torsional irregularity in a structure for seismic effects. It involves applying lateral loads in different orientations and measuring displacements at two nodes to calculate average displacement. If the average displacement exceeds 1.2 times the allowable limit, it indicates torsional irregularity which can be addressed by changing the column orientation or dimensions to make the structure symmetric.

If Found Irregularity , then Change Column Orientation or Dimention , and make it symmetric on both ways
