Due to the considerations of occupancy and architectural appearance, especially in the entrance floor and on one of the intermediate levels, inner sections between columns and outer walls are not constructed in the way they are done in other storeys or rigidity of the single structures in the storeys are different. These sections in the buildings are generally used for sales stores, restaurants, bank branches, installations and lightening. These are labelled as soft storeys in literature. Form the studies and investigation of the quake results, it is observed that partitioning walls and beam fillings enable buildings to gain great rigidity. Although irregularities of soft storey have taken place in many construction codes, it is observed that most of the damage constructions suffered result in this kind of irregularities. In the current study the focus, depending on the investigations on soft storeys conducted in quake regions of Izmit and Duzce, was on the investigation of the effect of a soft storey on the behaviour of a construction. Also solutions were investigated for making the soft storeys in the present constructions and in the ones to be built resistant to quake. Code: *************************************** |
