Open ground storey or soft storey is a typical feature in multistory structures in urban areas. This open storey is provided to accommodate parking, reception lobbies, office, communication hall etc. Many of structure having soft storey suffered major damage and collapsed in recent earthquakes. During an earthquake, because of variation in stiffness in soft story and its adjacent floors the inter story drift can occur and the lateral forces cannot be well distributed along the height of building. Lateral forces concentrate on soft story causes large displacement. In this work, an attempt has been made to observe the behavior of gradual decrease in stiffness of building, by using different types of infill material. This work discusses Optimum Earthquake response of tall buildings by response spectrum method as per IS 1893:2002 (Part- I) in ETAB’S software. Seismic parameters like storey stiffness and storey displacement are checked out.
