Stiffness Irregularity Check (Soft Story Check) Table
Story Stiffness Ratio of a building structure is tabulated in the Stiffness Irregularity Check (Soft Story Check) Table.
When 'Consider Story Module' under "Story Shear Force Ratio" is checked in the 'Model/Building/Control Data', accurate shear forces can be obtained for the story overlapping the upper Module and the lower Module.
When Modules are defined in Results > Result Tables > Story > Define Module, the Module data is displayed in the first column of the table.
When the ratios exceed the allowable limit, they appear in red and 'Irregular' is printed in the Remark.
"Story Shear Force Ratio" in "Model/Building/Control Data" must be checked for this function, which is checked as the Default.
