Abstract

In present time buildings with floating columns are of typical feature in the modern multistory construction practices in India. Such types of constructions are highly undesirable in building built in seismically active areas. This paper studies the analysis of G+6 storey normal building and a G+6 storey floating column building for external lateral forces. The analysis is done by the use of STADD PRO. This paper also studies the variation of the both structures by applying the intensities of the past earthquakes i.e., applying the ground motions to the both structures, from that displacement time history values are compared. This study is to find whether the structure is safe or unsafe with floating column when built in seismically active areas and also to find floating column building is economical or uneconomical.
