Abstract:

This paper presents comparative study of loading and non-floating columns with and without seismic behaviour. There are numerous observations of damages caused by irregularity in buildings such as vertical irregularity is predominant to structure while earthquake excitation, the earthquake forces developed at different floor levels in building need to be brought down along the height to the ground by the shortest path, any deviation or discontinuity such as floating columns results in poor performance of building. The aim of this work is to compare the response of RC frame buildings with and without floating columns under earthquake loading and under normal loading. The effect of earthquake forces on various building models for various parameters is proposed to be carried out with the help of response spectrum analysis. The idea is to reach a definite conclusion regarding the superiority of the two structures over one another. Finally, analysis results in the building such as storey drifts, storey displacement, and amount of steel required were compared in this study.
