Abstract :

Floating columns in multi–storey framed structure is becoming popular stability used structural integrity of such structures while resisting earthquake becomes critical. In the paper G+6 storey RCC structure in considered for earthquake analysis. For comparison of two models are used, one with floating column, second without floating column. All the two methods Equivalent static method, response spectrum and time history method were used for analysis ETABS Software was used and structure was assumed to be situated in earthquake Zone II on a medium soil(type II). The parameters evaluated were Base shear, Storey drift and Displacement. The multi–storey building with shear walls which had performed better than other models(normal building and multi–storey building with masonry infill walls) in resisting earthquake as per IS 1893:2002.
