Abstract:

Soft storey is one of the main reasons for building damage during an earthquake and has been mentioned in all investigation report. Soft storey due to increase storey height is well known subject. Change in amount infill walls between stories also results in soft story. These are usually not considered as a part of load bearing system. This study investigates the soft storey behavior due to increase in storey height, of infill’s at ground floor storey by means of linear static and nonlinear static analysis for midrise reinforced concrete building displacement capacity at immediate occupancy, life safety and collapse prevision, performance level and storey drift demands. Soft storey behavior due to change in infill’s amount is evaluated in view of the displacement capacities, drift demand and structural behavior.

Keywords:
