Seismic Vulnerability of RC Building With and Without Soft Storey Effect Using Pushover Analysis
Journal Title: International Journal of Modern Engineering Research (IJMER) - Year 2014, Vol 4, Issue 9
Abstract
A soft storey is one which has less resistance to earthquake forces than the other storeys; Buildings containing soft stories are extremely vulnerable to earthquake collapses, since one floor is flexible compared to others. Vulnerability of buildings is important in causing risk to life hence special consideration is necessary for such soft storey RC buildings. In the present study, analytical investigation of a RC building by considering the effect of soft storey situated in seismic Zone-V of India, in accordance with IS 1893-2002 (part-1), is taken as an example and the various analytical approaches (linear static and nonlinear static analysis) are performed on the building to identify the seismic demand and also pushover analysis is performed to determine the performance levels, and Capacity spectrum of the considered, also Storey Shear is compared for 3 models by using Finite Element Software Package ETAB’s 9.7.4 version
