Effect of the existence of soft story on the seismic response of RC buildings


Abstract in English

This research studies the behavior of the soft story in RC structures using static analysis and dynamic analysis, where studying models of RC structures containing soft story where this story results from increased hieght of story than the rest storys, was conducted static analysis using Nonliner pushover analysis and dynamic analysis using Nonliner time history analysis
