DESIGN AND ANALYSIS OF HIGH-RISE BUILDING WITH FLOATING COLUMNS

Earthquakes in several elements of the planet incontestable the dangerous consequences and vulnerability of inadequate structures. In gift situation buildings with floating column may be a typical feature of the trendy multi-storey construction in urban India. The floating column may be a vertical component that at its lower level rests on a beam. The unstable inertia forces generated at its floor levels in an exceedingly building have to be compelled to be brought down on the peak to the bottom and any deviation or separation during this load transfer path leads to poor performance. so options like floating columns area unit highly undesirable in buildings inbuilt seismically active space. gift study examines the adverse impact of the floating columns in the building. Models of the frame area unit developed for multi-storey RC buildings with and while not floating columns to hold out the comparative study of structural parameters like natural amount, base shear, and horizontal displacement beneath unstable excitation. Results obtained depicts that the alternative lives of providing lateral bracing to decrease the lateral deformation should be taken. The RC building with floating column once providing lateral bracing is analyzed. A comparative study of the results obtained is administrated for all higher than 3 models. The building with floating columns once providing bracings showed improved seismic performance
