Performance Based Evaluation of Floating Column Building by Elastic Analysis
Abstract
In the present scenario, the structures with floating columns are the typical features in the multi-storey construction. As the load path in the floating columns is not continuous, they are more vulnerable to the seismic activity. Sometimes, to meet the requirements these type of aspects cannot be avoided though these are not found to be of safe. Hence, an attempt is taken to study the behavior of the structure during the earthquake. In this study, the seismic behaviors of the RC multistory structures with and without floating column are considered. The analysis is carried out for the multi-storey structures of G+5 situated at zone iii, Using ETABS Software.
