3.1.10 Soft Storey
According to BNBC 2015, § 2.5.5.3.2, a soft storey is one in which the lateral stiffness is less than 70% of
that in the storey above or less than 80% of the average lateral stiff
irregularity, An extreme soft storey is defined where its lateral stiffness is less than 60% of that in the storey
above or less than 70% of the average lateral stftiess of the three stories above, This irregularity type is
needed to be checked for building only assigned to SDC D.
of the three stories above
However, this requirement will be omitted when no storey drift ratio under design lateral seismic force is
greater than 130 percent of the storey drift ratio ofthe next storey above, Using the data in Table 3.1, check
ey satisfies the storey drift ratio requirement.
