This study contains four models of RC Building of regular, mass irregular, stiffness irregular and soft storey. The peak responses of irregular building models are compared with Peak responses of regular building model. This building model contains ten stories modeled as shear type lumped mass system with single degrees of freedom at each floor level. The governing equation of motion is solved using Numark's method and is solved using coding in MATLAB software. From numerical results it is stated that peak responses of soft storey model gives better control over structural responses under various earthquakes except in some models.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
