Analysis of multi storey building with floating column at various locations

The infrastructural boom during last decade as resulted in construction of many high rise structures in all mega cities Due to the existence of architect and structural designer have provided floating column in many location in structure. The building become vulnerable to earthquake hazard due to improper way of flow of earthquake force to ground due to discontinuity in the form of floating column brought into structure floating column provided at some location such as balcony result in close loop and redistribution of moment and forces may prove to be beneficial in restricting dimension of beam and column it may also hell in achieving in desire economy. The present paper deals with comparison of axial forces, shear forces, moment, torsion and displacement in selected few columns & beams in the structure with or without floating column in four zones through different graphs the comparison is explain in the paper.
