Abstract:

Recent earthquakes have shown that the soft storey in building possess adverse effect on stability of structure. Heavy destruction of buildings with soft storey during the earthquakes has prompted research and analysis of the effects and stability of such buildings under earthquake condition .To analyze the effect of soft storey in seismic condition for multi-storeyed reinforced concrete building frame, building models (12 storey’s) with identical building plan were analyzed. Soft storey level was changed from stilt floor to top floor for each model including a bare frame and a full infill. Equivalent static analysis was carried away using STADD-PRO Analysis. Results shows that the presence of soft storey at the top level does not significantly affect the structural performance of fully infill frame. While the presence of soft storey at the lower level greatly affects the structural performance.
