Abstract

Abstract -In urban India floating column building is a typical feature in the modern multi-storey construction. Floatingcolumns buildings are adopted either for architectural aspect or when more free space is required in the ground floor. Suchfeatures are highly undesirable in seismically active area. In the project studies the analysis of G+5, G+7, G+9, G+11 andG+13 storey building with floating column and without floating is carried out. The analysis is done by using STAAD Pro V8isoftware by using Time History Method. The paper deals with the results variation in displacement of structure, base shear,Seismic weight calculation of building from manual calculation and STAAD pro V8i. For building with floating column andbuilding without floating column, finding the variation between the response parameters of earthquake and describe whathappens when variation may be high or low. The study is carried out to find whether the floating column structures are safeor unsafe when built in seismically prone areas, and also find out commercial aspects of floating column building either it iseconomical or uneconomical.
