The use of a dynamic analysis procedure is required for tall buildings, buildings with vertical irregularities caused by
significant mass or geometric irregularities, or other cases where the distribution of the lateral forces departs from that
assumed in the equivalent lateral force procedure.

This example is a five-storey building without any significant geometrical irregularities. There are no significant mass
irregularities and all frames are continuous to the foundation. Therefore, this example may be evaluated using the
equivalent lateral force procedure.
