As per IS 1893, Storey drift shall not exceed 0.004 times storey height. If it is exceeded, then how to minimize it for multi storied building.
Sorry, my area of sustainable buildings is restricted to the legal aspect.
A civil engineer(Structural design) would be able to tell you, but I guess it depends on the level of the drifted storey. If the building is already built and if it is an upper storey, then maybe a support structure, a support cable can help. If it is a storey in lower levels for example in basement or ground floor, then some experts inject concrete to the foundation to stop the drifting or extra support structure to be added to the building later on. Structural engineers shall be able to say.hope that helps.
Hi sir
1. You can use shear wall
2. Rotate your column section in the effective direction
3. Make stronger the columns and beams
4. Use dynamic periods for checking the drift .
