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