        abstract = {In this current modern construction era, most of the buildings are formulated in irregular manner both in plan and vertical configurations. Irregularities in lack of symmetry might imply vital eccentricity between the building mass and stiffness centers, give rise to damaging coupled lateral response. Irregular structural analysis is crucial because irregular building configurations can significantly increase the risk of damage and failure during seismic events. Besides, designing and analyzing an irregular building requires a high level of effort and knowledge whereas an inappropriate designer may design it without considering the effect, In other words, damages in those with irregular options are more than that of the regular one. Irregularities, such as variations in stiffness, mass, or geometry, can significantly affect a structure's response to loads, especially during earthquakes, potentially leading to failure. Understanding and accurately analyzing these irregularities is essential for ensuring the safety and stability of structures, particularly in earthquake-prone regions. Thus, irregular structures would require more careful structural analysis in the event of destructive earthquake As there is increase in population by which land deficit occurs and to overcome that, high-rise structure is opted. These types of high-rise structure are affected by the natural phenomena. Earthquake in the past decade is observed to be more devastating, so it is now important to consider the effect of earthquake for the construction of medium to high rise buildings.  Earthquakes are the most dangerous by means of the damage and effect caused to the structural components and also that they can't be controlled. In the stability of these high rise buildings due to the different loads in tall buildings is comparatively high than in low buildings because they are exposed to the wind, the increase in the height of the building increases the impact of increased winds loads, causing safety concerns for the structure envelope and the integrity of the structural system. Tall buildings shook along the wind. The vibrations may be large to cause anxiety and discomfort for the people present, or by strong earthquakes. So designing the structure seismic loads is a crucial step .In this project, the Burj Khalifa which is a prime example of a high-rise building, specifically a skyscraper is analyzed for seismic behaviour .},
