Touchstone 11.0 API Reference
SoftStory Property


Air.Services.Proxy Assembly > AIR.Services.Common.Exposure.Data Namespace > LocationFeature Class : SoftStory Property
(Optional) Contains a Soft Story indicator to describe a structural weakness at any floor.
Syntax
Public Property SoftStory As SoftStory
Dim instance As LocationFeature
Dim value As SoftStory
 
instance.SoftStory = value
 
value = instance.SoftStory
public SoftStory SoftStory {get; set;}
Remarks
The weakness is usually in the lateral load resisting capacity of the floor and can often result in total (pancaking) collapse of the floor. In residential buildings, it is most often found in the first floor due to large openings or garages. In multi-story buildings, it can be present at any floor, although a large number of case histories exist with collapse of the first floor.

Note: Soft story is only enabled if the number of stories is 2 or greater.

Default: Unknown (0)
