Soft Storey Building Analysis Project — Project Topics for Civil Engineering
Soft storey (open ground storey) buildings are highly vulnerable under seismic loads due to stiffness discontinuity. Student projects cover identification, nonlinear analysis, and retrofit strategies using ETABS, SAP2000 and IS codes.
Typical stack: ETABS, SAP2000, STAAD.Pro, IS 1893 and related Indian standards.
