From past few years because of the demand of the customers building with soft storey are constructed, it is convenient for parking purpose. While parking any vehicle there are chances that any vehicle may collide with the column and column may fail which may leads to progressive collapse of structure. Also there is threat of terrorist attack if they damage the critical column then it trigger a chain reaction which then results in failure of entire structure. To avoid progressive collapse V-type bracing systems can be used. As bracing system contribute in resisting lateral load it can also contribute in resisting the impact of progressive collapse. Analysis and design of building is carried out using computer program ETABS
