INTRODUCTION
What is Soft Story (IS 1893:2002)
Generally soft story means simply a frame structure without

infill walls i.e. masonry wall, panels, concrete blocks.
It is the one in which the lateral stiffness is less than 70%

of that in the Story immediately above or less than 80%
of average lateral stiffness of three stories above.

Adverse Effect
• Large inner story displacement
• Uneven lateral force distribution
• Large stress concentration
•Infill walls have a considerable strength and stiffness.
•Although the infill panels significantly enhance both the stiffness and strength
of the frame, their contribution among analysis and design is often not taken
into account because of the lack of knowledge of the composite behavior of the
frame and the infill

Common practice and unavoidable feature -- parking of vehicles
Inadequate stiffness and inadequate shear resistance-- A soft story
Discontinuity of strength and so collapse is unavoidable

RESULTS AND DISCUSSION
The analysis is based on following assumption:

1. The building is laid in symmetrical grid.
2. Material is homogeneous, isotropic and elastic.
3. Each nodal point in the frame has six degree of freedom.
Etabs software is used for analysis of different plane frames, frames with soft story at
different floors. For better understanding of pure seismic response of reinforced frames
with soft stories at different floors.
The performance characteristics are
Story Stiffness
Lateral Displacement
Bending Moment and Shear Force

Story Stiffness
The story stiffness is defined as the magnitude of the force couple required at the floor levels
adjoin the story to produce a unit lateral translation within the story, letting all the other floors
to move freely. For story stiffness calculation separate Modeling of building structural frame is
done in Etabs software and from these result story stiffness is calculated. For different building
frame models the stiffness of story without infill and related upper story as well as presence of
soft story is shown in Table

• The unexpected change in displacement profile shows the story stiffness irregularity
• As well as graph clearly shows that if soft story shifted above and above the
displacement values increases.
• As comparison of maximum displacement of model No.2, No.3, No.4 it indicates that
while increase in number of soft story in building displacement percentage increases
upto 15 to 20%.
• As comparison of result of model no.5 with other model it is clearly seen that if
spacing between two soft stories increases story deflection of building increase
• Hence the provision of side panel masonry in ground floor in model no.7 shows 5%
to 10% reduction in displacement as compare to model no.2
• Model No.5 shows greater value of displacement as compared to other model because
of provision of soft story at higher level

BENDING MOMENT & SHEAR FORCE
• The results of shows that the bending moment and shear force (strength) are very
higher for soft story columns, in case of the soft story buildings.
• As the force is distributed in proportion to the stiffness of the members, the force in
the columns of the upper story above soft story, for all the models are reduced due to
the presence of brick infill walls.
• From comparison of results of bending moment of full infill model (Model No.1)
with soft story model (Model No.2 to 6), it is clear that presence of soft story in
building increases 55% bending moments in soft story columns.
• In model III, the bending moments are higher in ground soft story are higher in 2nd
floor soft story columns as compared with upper infill story columns respectively. .

CONCLUSION
In multistoried structure for parking of vehicles, ground floor is always used with open frames.
As well as by adopting of new practices, now a day’s parking of vehicles is also provided in
above stories than ground floor. But it is important to check their response during earthquake
excitation. So the present study as a dissertation part highlights the behavior of reinforced
concrete frame structure with soft story at ground floor as well as at above stories also.
From results of analysis the following conclusions are found.
• Parametric analysis on multistoried infill reinforced concrete structures gives that, due to the
earthquake excitation in the infill, if the infilling is uniform in all story, drifts and structural
damage are dramatically reduced, without an increase in the seismic force demands. Presence
of soft story effects due to the absence of infill wall in the bottom story in building is a
measure problem in earthquake, as soft story is less strong or more flexible, a large part of
the building deflection to concentrate in that floor with secondary concentration of stress at
the second floor and in that case collapse is unavoidable.
• The stiffness irregularity in structural models with soft story is seen from the fact that the
stiffness of soft story is less than that of corresponding above story stiffness.

CONCLUSION
• If soft story shifted above and above the displacement values increase.
• If spacing between two soft stories increases, the deflection of building increases.
• The provision of side masonry significantly increase stiffness and it considerably reduce
the lateral deflection and show smooth displacement profile without affecting
parking utility.
• In case of the soft story buildings the bending moments and shear forces value are
severely higher for soft story columns as compare to upper story columns.

FUTURE SCOPE
• In current study the frame with soft story and without soft story is carried out. Thus a
further study of this problem can be carried out using bracing and diagonal struts.
• In this study the structural models taken as regular shapes like symmetry structure. Thus a
further study of this problem can be carried out using irregular shape i.e. asymmetric
model for the models.
• A future study can be done with diagonal strut bracing at ground floor and where there is
more concentrated load
