SEISMIC RESPONSE OF MULTI-STORIED STRUCTURES WITH FLOATING COLUMNS

The civil engineering structures with floating column are a regular element in the cutting edge multistory construction. Such elements are profoundly undesirable in building implicit seismically dynamic ranges. This study highlights the significance of expressly perceiving the vicinity of the structures with and without floating columns. Seismic analysis is carried out on G+7 story building with the different alternative location for floating column considering the presence and absence of infill effect. Different structural configurations such as Floating column resting on the beam which is supported on the column and Providing RCC wall between columns which is supported by the frame having floating column are analyzed using professional software Etabs-2013. The response of the structure is studied in form of Base-Shear, Storey Shear and Storey Displacement, Member forces of Buildings with and without Floating Columns for seismic zone IV subjected to medium soil profile by the seismic coefficient method and response spectrum method referring to IS 1893-2002.
