The Effect of Floating Column in RCC Building: A Review

In the recent time in India the floating column is the great concept of civil engineering and architecture engineering life. Floating column is a vertical member which is put on the beam and this beam does not transfer the load directly to the foundations. In this paper we prepare the model of G+3 building plan in the STAAD Pro V8i software and analysis the effect of floating column in the RCC building. Floating column acts as a point load on the beam and this beam transfers the load to the other columns below it. It is widely used in the construction of the underground parking which helps to smooth parking in the multi storey building. The figure show the floating column which rest on the beam and this beam transfer the load the other column below it as shown in figure. In this paper analysis of the floating column in the RCC building after including all the dead load ,live load earthquake load and load combination and then find out the number and types of reinforcement required and quantity of concrete required for the particular building plans and finally check the building is safe or not.
