Design Drift Ratio As An Indicator Of Damage In Soft Storied RCC Buildings

Abstract

Drift or distortion really governs the performance of a building in terms of damage both to the structural frame and to non-frame elements. In the year 1976, uniform building code (UBC) is probably the first code to set adrift limit. Drift in building frames is the result of flexural and shear mode contributions, due to columns axial deformations and to the diagonal and girder deformations. In low rise braced structures, the shear mode displacements are the most significant and will largely determine the lateral stiffness of the structure. In medium to high rise structures the higher axial forces and deformations in the columns, and the accumulation of their effects over a greater height cause flexural component of displacement to become dominant. The drift problem become more critical in soft storied RCC building particularly when kept open at Ground floor. Design storey drift ratio is the relative difference of design displacement between the top and bottom of a storey divided by the storey height. American concrete Institute (ACI) provides a limit that design storey drift ratio does not exceeds 0.005 to 0.03 to control the damages during severe earthquake.
