| Research Name | Soft Story |
| Research Description | “Soft story” is unequal building configurations that are a considerable source of serious earthquake damage. These configurations that are basically originated due to utilization reasons have long been known by earthquake engineering as seismically vulnerable. In terms of seismic regulations their unequal conditions demand the application of special considerations in their structural design and analysis. The stiffness of unequal configurations in soft storeys is the most usual cause of structural failure in the unequal vertical part of a building when major earthquakes take place leaving behind many sacrifices. |
