In-Plane Discontinuity in Vertical Lateral Force-Resisting Element Irregularity per ASCE 7-16

In-plane discontinuity in vertical lateral force-resisting element irregularity is defined as there is an in-plane offset of a vertical seismic force-resisting element resulting in overturning demands on supporting structural elements for any of two earthquake directions perpendicular to each other.
