In a highly populated country like India, problem of parking of the vehicles arises, this problem leaves no option for
design of open ground storey buildings. Since there are no infill walls in ground storey, stiffness in the upper storey is much
more than the ground storey. The columns in the ground storey are heavily stressed, therefore it is required that the ground storey
columns must have sufficient strength and adequate ductility, the increased base shear is resisted entirely by the columns of
ground storey only.
