ABSTRACT
Soft storey building played an important role in development of multistoried buildings in
India. Functional and Social need to provide car parking space at ground level and for
offices open stories at different level of structure far out-weighs the warning against such
buildings from engineering community. With the availability of fast computers, so that
software usage in civil engineering has greatly reduced the complexities of different aspects
in the analysis and design of projects. In this paper an investigation has been made to study
the seismic behavior of soft storey building with different arrangement in soft storey building
when subjected to static and dynamic earthquake loading. It is observed that, providing infill
improves resistant behavior of the structure when compared to soft storey provided.
Analysis of Building
Linear elastic analysis is performed for the
nine models of the building using ETABS
analysis package [Habibullah, 1995]. The
frame members are modeled with rigid end
