Behaviour of RC building is investigated under seismic load at different seismic zones in Bangladesh for soft storey existence. A six storied building with identical plan is analysed. Soft story is facilitated by Infill brick wall assigning which is modelled using equivalent diagonal struts.

Abstract


Behaviour of RC building is investigated under seismic load at different seismic zones in Bangladesh for soft storey existence. A six storied building with identical plan is analysed. Soft story is facilitated by Infill brick wall assigning which is modelled using equivalent diagonal struts.
