Today, the wide variety of social requirements for commercial or aesthetic purposes [1] and the power of Computer Aided Architectural Design (CAAD) tools result in tall buildings with complex forms. On the other hand, tall building architectural form is mostly determining how earthquake forces distribute throughout the building height and plan which would significantly affect how structural members would respond to that force. Seismic provisions and guidelines divide buildings into regular and irregular categories based on their forms and recommend avoiding irregularity to ensure a better overall seismic performanc
