Then the stilted storey will become a soft storey in comparison to higher storeis. Check the lateral drift at each level with a same force to get a comparative displacement. Then based on your code st iffness ratio ratio you c an determin determine e if its a soft story or not.

In Etabs : After run analysis ----> Display ---->Show story response plot .... There you can find story displacement,drift and whatever you want to check. This is very important for checking the story stiffnss effect. Story Drift Limitation: From BNBC (Bangladesh National Building Code) Story drift, ∆ shall be limited as follows: 1)∆≤0.04h/R ≤ 0.005h --------> For T <0.7 second. 2)∆≤0.03h/R ≤ 0.004h --------> For T ≥ 0.7 second. 3) ∆≤0.0025h/R -------->For unreinforced masonry structures. http://for um.ci vi l ea.com/pr i ntthr ead.php?ti d= 33576
