Linear and Nonlinear Analysis of RC Building with and without Floating Column using Etabs Software

At present the buildings with floating columns are the typical features in the multi-storey construction. As the heap way in the coasting segments is spasmodic, they are more powerless against seismic action. Sometimes, to meet the requirements such as more area for parking space and other amities, these types of aspects cannot be avoided though these are not found to be safe. Hence forth an endeavor is taken to examine the conduct of the multi-story working amid the seismic action. In the present study G+10 storey of RCC structure in considered for earthquake analysis. For comparison of five models are proposed, one with normal structure, second with shear walls in middle of exterior wall, third with masonry infill wall, fourth with masonry infill wall with shear walls in middle of exterior wall and fifth with masonry infill wall with inverted V bracing and shear walls in middle of exterior wall. All the five models, Equivalent static strategy, Response range technique and Push over investigation strategy were utilized for examination utilizing ETABS-2013 Software. Structures were thought to be arranged in seismic tremor Zone 5 on a medium soil (type II). The parameters assessed were Time period, Base shear, Story float and Displacement. The multi-storey building with masonry infill wall with inverted V bracing and shear walls in middle of exterior wall which had performed better than other models in resisting earthquake as per IS 1893:2002.
