Dear all
Can Anybody let me know how to Check & Design Soft Story in Etabs as per Indian codes. If
You Have reference material or papers Please Share here.
Soft storey is a relative term. Its like a floor on stilted columns with no masonary infill panels.
Then the stilted storey will become a soft storey in comparison to higher storeis.
Check the lateral drift at each level with a same force to get a comparative displacement.
Then based on your code stiffness ratio you can determine if its a soft story or not.
Thanks ASCE_IBC
You are Right As You Thought I have Stilted Storey. But Please Let Me Know How To Check
The Check the lateral drift at each level with a same force to get a comparative displacement
In Etabs..!!
SOFT STORY: Story in which the lateral stiffness is less than 70% of the stiffness of the story
above.
In Etabs : After run analysis ----> Display ---->Show story response plot ....
There you can find story displacement,drift and whatever you want to check. This is very
important for checking the story stiffnss effect.
