Dear sefians,
In a building if a slab alongwith plinth beams are provided at the plinth level (for parking etc.)should its seismic weight be lumped to the frame as is done for higher floor levels?
Intuitively I feel that this should not be done, as the said slab as well as beams transfer the load directly to the soil.
The IS code (IS 1893-2002) does not address this issue.
I hope you will be kind enough to clarify.

Dear friend, as per your mail, i think that is on the ground floor And hence whatever is on the ground that won't come into seismic analysis due to support on the ground. I think well known professor DR. JAISWAL may guide you better than anybody else.,isn't it.

The framed structure is to be modelled by considering the columns fixed [or supported by equivalent soil springs] at the top of the footing. Naturally, the mass of the plinth beam would also be considered in that model. The top portion of the soil upto the bottom of the footing is not modelled.
If you have a block foundation, like in Machine foundations, the embedded soil can be modelled as equivalent soil springs.

General practise is the slab at grade level is ignored--though the mass of the ground floor does participate but to not that extent as compared to if it was unrestrained from the srrounding soil. Therefore it is justified to ignire the mass for seismic analysis. Otherwise every single storey building would need to be designed as a two storey building. Of course it is modelled with the plinth beam and even raft/ grade beams if provided, though without the mass at the ground level--but it is unfair to over penalise the roof beams because of limited participation of the ground floor mass
