Abstract

In recent times, multi-storey buildings in urban regions requires column free area due to shortage of space and for architectural requirements. For this reason multi-storey buildings are constructed with floating columns for aesthetic point of view and for getting more space at parking areas for movement. Floating-column is an upright member that ends at its lower level and rests on a beam that is a horizontal member. Provision of floating columns is highly prejudicial in building built-in seismically active areas. The primary aim of this study is to present a general review of the performance of reinforced concrete frame structures with and without the floating columns at different floors in RC buildings. The analytical study of the RC buildings with and without floating columns is done using ETABS 2013 software.
