The column of soft storey meant for car parking  has to be designed for  2.5 times the actual column design moment as per IS 1893-2002 Part 1. Suppose if the building is covered by 3 sides of wall and one side open,  is it mandatory to multiply the column moment by 2.5 times. Experts  kindly comment on this as per codal provision.

IS:1893, Cl.4.20:- "Soft Storey: It is one in which the lateral stiffness is less than 70 percent of that in the storey above or less than 80 percent of the average lateral stiffness of the three storeys above."

That's the definition. Hope it's clear
