Behaviour of Floating Column in a Framed Structure

Floating column has now become a trend in building provision to obtain big quantities of spaces for adequate construction usage. But taking into consideration the stability of the construction is one of the typical measures to consider in the design of the construction. Suitable design for smooth loading flow requires adequate care and abilities to provide floating column. In multi-story buildings, providing a floating column is ignored if it is situated in regions susceptible to earthquake. This research paper introduces RCC framed construction on the first floor with floating column that is analysed and intended under the standard condition of loading. STAAD Pro is a structural instrument that can assist identify the structural modifications that may occur while the column is floating. This software deals with all kinds of loading, including wind loading and earthquake loading, on the structure. STAAD Pro is widely used for structural design by civil engineers and is now leading structural design software. Many design companies conduct all design kinds on this building-related software. This study therefore deals with the assessment and design of the framed structure with floating column in the ground floor of the construction, the floating behaviour. This study article introduces a buildings floating column behaviour, load distribution, and structural continuity. It has been noted that floating columns do not take the same load as those columns attached to the base. This research will also mention pros and cons of using a floating column in a framework.
