I added more information,
Centre of stiffness is also called as a centre of rigidity.
According to IS 1893-2002, it is the point from which the restoring force resultant of the system acts. In this case, the lateral forces pass from the centre of stiffness.
Stiffness (K)=
(force on the system (P) / displacement of the system)
