Le problème de l'étage souple est très répandu au sein des effondrements de bâtiments. En effet, il apparaît lorsqu'il y a une différence de rigidité entre les étages et cet étage en particulier. Il s'agit en général du rez-de-chaussée où, pour gagner de l'espace, on retire des éléments porteurs de la structure. Cet étage est parfois la cause d'effondrement d'un bâtiment. 3, record 1, French, - %C3%A9tage%20souple
