According to BNBC 2015 2.5.5.3.2, a soft story is one in which the lateral stiffness is less than 70% of that
in the story aboveor less than 80% of the average lateral stiffness of the three stories above irregularity.
An extreme soft story is defined where its lateral stiffness is less than 60% of that in the story above or
less than 70% of the average lateral stiffness of the three storiesabove. This irregularity type is needed
to be checked for building assigned to SDC D.
However, this requirement will be omitted when no story drift ratio under design lateral seismic force is
greater than 130 percent of the story drift ratio of the next story above.
