Open first storey is a typical feature in the modern multistory constructions in urban India. Such features are highly undesirable in buildings built in seismically active areas; this has been verified in numerous experiences of strong shaking during the past earthquakes. Though multistoried buildings with open (soft) ground floor are inherently vulnerable to collapse due to earthquake load, their construction is still widespread in the developing nations like India. Social and functional need to provide car parking space at ground level far out-weighs the warning against such buildings from engineering community. Hence we need to find out an efficient method to provide strength to soft storey in multi-storied buildings. In the proposed work, a comparative analysis was carried out with a Residential R.C. building of six storey (G + 5), located in seismic zone III, modeled with linear elastic dynamic analysis using response spectrum method. Three models of building with open ground storey, RC structural wall and steel bracing in the ground storey were modeled using the software STAAD.Pro V8i. The results were compared on the basis of displacement, shear force, bending moment, axial force and base shear.
