Investigation of Soft Story and Weak Story Irregularities on the Structures with Infill Walls
2017In this study, soft story and weak story irregularities defined in the Earthquake Code 2007 were investigated. For this purpose, five different 10-story structures with different geometries and infill walls were analyzed using the Equivalent Seismic Load Method in line with both earthquake directions.

Structures Congress 2014, 2014
The existence of thousands of soft-story woodframe buildings in California has been recognized as a disaster preparedness problem resulting in mitigation efforts throughout the state. The considerable presence of these large multi-family buildings in San Francisco prompted the city to mandate their retrofitting over the next seven years.

Base Isolation by a Soft First Story with Inclined Columns
Journal of Engineering Mechanics, 1999An idea of passive base isolation of buildings is explored, using inclined rubber base isolators or inclined “soft” first-story columns. Such a system behaves as a physical pendulum, “pivoted” above center of mass, and is more stable than the standard system.

8. Design of Soft Stories—A Simplified Energy Approach
Earthquake Spectra, 1997Most specialists dealing with earthquake engineering agree that soft stories represent a major reason for buildings collapses during major earthquakes, but seismic forces acting upon soft stories have not yet been quantified. The author proposes an energy approach yielding equivalent static forces to be taken into account in the design of resisting ...

Seismic Response of Rocking Oscillators on a Soft Story: Elastic Response
Journal of Structural Engineering, 2015AbstractThe elastic response of a class of nonlinear oscillators that represent structural systems with a relatively rigid superstructure on a soft ground story is evaluated under lateral base excitation. The governing equations of motion are developed, accounting for both lateral translation and overturning rocking of the rigid superstructure relative

Investigation of Soft Stories in Buildings with Hollow Block Slab
2017Hollowblock slab is a floor slab system that consists of a thin slab and joists. In hollowblock slab system, nonstructural materials are used between joists. Hollowblock slab usually consists of wide and shallow beams. Because of low beamheight in this system, its lateral stiffness is less than beam floor systems.Because hollow block slab has low ...

The sensory topography of cloth: Soft armour and worn stories
This essay seeks to explain the lived experience of chronic pain through personal examination, a study of the surface manipulation of cloth through textile art making and the poetics of female artists and writers. A consideration of western feminism and worn cloth further explores how the politics of wearing affects the feminine sense of wellbeing and ...openaire +1 more source
