D. Shear Failure
Detailing practice for transverse ties in columns in the
affected area offers very light confinement to the core
concrete against the large compressive stress generated by the
extreme lateral deformation demands during strong seismic
shaking. Many times, the mild steel ties were found to be 5
mm in diameter. Ground floor columns with such
reinforcement detailing failed in brittle shear mode leading to
failure of many open ground storey buildings, in some
buildings, only a few ground storey columns sustained
significant shear and flexural cracking, and these buildings
were precariously standing.

existence of the soft story behaviour in the structure. For this -10
reason, two dimensional frame models for which the soft story -20
behaviour can easily be accepted are selected for investigation. -30
Each model in this study is named according to the total
number of stories and first story height of it. For example
model name HL3.2:6 indicate six storey models with 3.2m
heighted soft storey at ground level. The expression HL FIG C
used for the height of the lower or first story, after that two
digits (as 3.2) indicate height taken in related model as 3.2m HL3.2:6 HL4.2:6 HL6.0:6
and the digit after colon : indicates the numbers of stories
taken in related model as 6 storey. All these analytical models 30
are analysed according to the requirement of Indian Standard 20
Codes. 10

VI. CONCLUSIONS
HL3.2:8 HL4.2:8 HL6.0:8 In view of the results obtained by the seismic analysis of
the considered building structures, following primary
20 conclusions on the observations of behaviour of the models
15 are obtained:
The displacement estimates of the codal lateral load
10 patterns are observed to be smaller for the lower stories
5 and larger for the upper stories and are independent of
the total number stories of the models.

overestimations of displacements for all of the models
and deformation levels.
The estimations of the first mode lateral load pattern
FIG B leads to more accurate displacement, the deviations on
the results of this lateral load pattern decreases due to
HL3.2:8 HL4.2:8 HL6.0:8 the existence of the soft stories as the number of stories
and number of spans increase.
