ANALYSIS OF SOFT STOREY AT INTERMEDIATE LEVEL IN MULTI STOREY BUILDING

A soft story building is multi-story building in which one or more than one floor has windows, doors which are wide, large and also unobstructed spaces of commercial, or various openings in places where a shear wall normally be required for the stability as a matter for engineering of earthquake design. A typical building of soft story is of either three or more stories and might be located over a ground level with large openings, such as series of businesses with large window and also parking garage. It is a building of irregular structural configurations that are significant source of some serious earthquake damage. These configurations of structure that are essentially originated because of decisions have been recognized by study of earthquake engineering. These buildings mostly perform badly in earthquakes. Usually buildings located above ground level with large openings, like series of retail businesses and parking garages with large doors. In this study we will carry out preventive techniques & these are suggested to improve seismic performance of a building to reduce the effect of soft story in building at intermediate levels.
