The seismic forces and deformations obtained from the equivalent static force procedure and the dynamic analysis method proposed for the 2005 National Building Code of Canada are compared for 4-, 8-, 12-, and 16-storey buildings with structural mass irregularity. Setbacks resulting in 200% and 300% mass discontinuities located at 25%, 50%, or 75% of the building height were considered. The buildings are located in Vancouver and
