Comparative Seismic Analysis of Multistorey Building with and without Floating Column

Abstract

Civil engineering is a professional engineering discipline that deals with the design, construction, and maintenance of
the physical and naturally built environment, including works like roads, bridges, canals, dams, and buildings. Structural
engineering is a part of civil engineering dealing with the analysis and design of structures that support or resist loads.
This paper deals with the study of architectural drawing and the framing drawing of the building having floating
columns. Existing residential building comprising of G+ 7 structures has been selected for carrying out the project work.
The load distribution on the floating columns and the various effects due to it is also been studied in the paper. The
importance and effects due to line of action of force is also studied. In this paper we are dealing with the comparative
study of seismic analysis of multi-storied building with and without floating columns. The equivalent static analysis is
carried out on the entire project mathematical 3D model using the software STAAD Pro V8i and the comparison of these
models are been presented. This will help us to find the various analytical properties of the structure and we may also
have a very systematic and economical design for the structure.
