PERIOD (seconds)
Soft storey stiffness is significantly lower than adjacent floors Buildings on stilts ( for parking) are most common examples of soft-storey The in-fill wall provide additional stiffness against lateral loads which is not considered in the analysis Floors without infill walls have lower stiffness Floors with in-fill walls and with out in-fill walls are treated as same in analysis
No consideration is given to soft storey which experiences greater drift Moment demand of column increases due to P- delta effect buildings with soft storey collapsed due to Many failure of columns at joints in soft storey The failure occurred due to
Lack of strength and stiffness of soft storey strong beam-weak column behaviour of moment resisting frame lack of ductility of columns due poor detailing
A storey having lateral stiffness less than 70% of the stiffness of the storey above or less than 80% of the average lateral stiffness of the three storeys above.
- IBC 2000, IS 1893
Large open spaces with high ceiling at the ground floor level, for parking or some other architectural purpose. Absence of infills and shear-walls, and sometimes, increased length of columns at ground storey reduces the lateral stiffness significantly.
BUILDING ON STILT
Soft storey attracts large force Requires large ductility Failure results due to large P-Delta shear forces
Many buildings with soft storey collapsed due to failure of columns at joints in soft storey The failure occurred due to
Lack of strength & stiffness of soft storey strong beam-weak column behaviour of moment resisting frame lack of ductility due to poor detailing
The ground storey should be provided with shear walls to increase the stiffness at ground storey
Uniformly infilled buildings may have soft storey effect due to failure of the infills in the bottom storeys To avoid soft storey effect in the uniformly infilled buildings, a minimum area of shear wall should be provided throughout the height of the building
Increasing the size of ground storey columns by jacketing Addition of RC walls at ground floor Steel bracings at ground storey Use of energy dissipating devices such as yielding bracing or viscous dampers
Mid-height collapse of a mixed-use building (built circa 1977) in Nishinomiya. This type of collapse was very common in this earthquake.
FLEXURAL MEMBERS
In an external joint, both the top and the bottom bars of the beams shall be provided with anchorage length in tension plus 10 times the bar diameter In the internal joint, both face bars of the beam shall be taken continuously through the column The longitudinal bars shall be spliced, only if hoops are provided over the entire splice length, at a spacing not exceeding 150 mm The lap length shall not be less than the bar development length in tension
