Study of Behaviour of Multistorey Building with Floating Column: A Review

Abstract

In the modern multi-storey construction in urban India, Floating columns is a classical feature and is highly undesired in buildings built in seismically active areas. Buildings built in seismically active areas do not desire to have buildings built with floating column. From the past events that took place in seismically active areas it can be inferred that the structures constructed without proper design and without proper quality can cause great destruction and can be highly harmful. Thus, the tall structures build in seismically active areas should be built with proper safety against earthquake forces therefore, there is need to determine seismic responses of such building for designing earthquake resistant structures by carrying seismic analysis of the structure.
