Seismic Analysis of RCC Structure with Floating Column on Different Position

The present work focuses on behaviour of structure with and without provision of floating column and it is necessary to check whether the structure is safe or unsafe with floating column when it is built in seismically active areas and to check the complexities due to floating columns and also to find the building with floating columns is economical or uneconomical. The modelling and analysis is done as per Indian standards codes for G+ 10 OMRF (Ordinary RC moment resting frame) structure. Equivalent static analysis is done as per IS 1893 (part 1): 2002 for earthquake zone III using the STAAD Pro V8i S5 software. The results of the performance and analysis of the structure are then represented graphically form and is compared to determine the best performance of the building against lateral stiffness. A comparative analysis is done in terms of Base shear, Displacement, maximum bending moments in X and Z directions and maximum torsions in beams, Axial forces and moments in Y and Z directions in columns.
