Earthquakes are the most critical loading condition for all land based structures located in the seismically active region. The majority of buildings that failed during the Bhuj earthquake (2001) and Gujarat earthquake were of the open ground storey type. Caused considerable damage to a large number of RCC buildings and tremendous loss of life. The reasons were (a) poor quality of concrete in columns, (b) due to the formation of soft storey behavior in the ground storey (c) sudden reduction in lateral stiffness,(d)poor detailing of the structural design. This particular incident has shown that designers and structural engineers should ensure to offer adequate earthquake resistant provisions with regard to planning, design, and detailing high rise buildings to withstand the effect of an earthquake to minimize disaster. The concept of open ground storey is to provide parking facility in the ground storey. The main idea of taking this topic of “comparative seismic analysis of open ground storey framed buildings with infill wall and shear wall” comparing the deflection of shear wall and infill wall by using STADD PRO.
