Soft storeys in a multi-storey structure play an important role on its seismic performance. At the soft storey level, there is a discontinuity in the rigidity of the structure due to lack of infill walls. It is this continuity which is the driving force of structural failure of multi storey buildings under seismic loads. In this study, seismic analysis of soft storey building frames have been carried out considering 6 building plans and 4 soft storeys. Soft storeys have been created by neglecting the effect of infill walls. In this way, number of frames are analysed. ETABS software has been used for analysis purpose. Results are collected in terms of max. storey displacements, max. shear force and max. Drift, which are critically analyzed to measure the effects of various parameters.
