These floating columns are used mainly for satisfying the space requirement in the structure and to get good architectural view of the building. In the present study, the analysis and design of multistoried building with and without floating columns was done using static analysis. A residential multistoried building consisting of G+5 has been chosen for carrying out project work. The work was carried out considering different cases of removal of columns in different positions and in different floors of the building. The equivalent static analysis is done on the mathematical 3-D model of building and results have been compared. All the work was carried out by using the software ETabs Version Key words: Floating Column, ETABS, Equivalent static analysis, Magnification factor. Cite this Article: Sasidhar T, P.

International Journal of Civil Engineering and Technology, 8(6), 2017, pp INTRODUCTION In the present day construction of buildings in urban India the main problem arises in the accommodation of parking areas, reception lobbies etc. To overcome this problem floating columns came into existence and now it has become an unavoidable feature in most of the multistoried buildings. The floating column shows undesirable results during earthquake 91 editor@iaeme.com

As the height of the building is increased, the earthquake load acting at different floors of the building varies and these should be carried down in the shortest distance. If the load travelling has any discontinuity in its path, it will cause the reduction in the performance of the building. Due to discontinuity in the load transfer path, many buildings in Gujarat have been collapsed in Bhuj 2001 and the buildings with the vertical setbacks caused a sudden jump. The floating column are safe for the vertical loading but the lateral loads acting on the building causes overturning of the building and load travel path is also disturbed which results in the damage of the columns by buckling. This is because the strength of the lower floor is less due to removal of the columns. This project mainly focuses on the comparison of the building with and without floating columns Floating Column A column is supposed to be a vertical member which starts from the foundation level and transfers the load safely to the ground from the building. Floating column is a vertical member in which the lower end rests on the beam and load is transferred to the nearby column through the beam as shown in fig 1. Figure 1 Load transfer system 2. LITERATURE ON ANALYSIS OF MULTISTORIED BUILDING WITH FLOATING COLUMN USING ETABS Floating columns are used in many multistoried building to provide good architectural flexibility and more floor space index. Many researches has been carried out on these floating columns for comparison with normal building some of them are T.Raja sekhar et al (2014) computed the behavior of multistoried building with and without floating columns and its seismic behavior for different intensities using Finite Element Analysis. Srikanth.M.K et al (2014) specified about Seismic response of multistoried building with floating columns at different zones. A.P Mudada et al (2014) showed comparative seismic analysis of multistoried building with and without floating columns. Prema Nautiyal(2013) discussed about seismic response of RC framed building with floating column for different soil conditions. Sukumar Behra (2012) worked on the seismic behavior of multi storied building with floating column editor@iaeme.com

To provide more open space in ground floor for parking and reception lobbies. Proper design and detailing of transfer girder for different load combinations. 4. METHODOLOGY 4.1. Modeling of the Building In this project, building selected is G+5 multistoried building in the zone II region. Static analysis was carried out. The building was analyzed in the normal condition with all the columns are present. The building is divided into 6 cases depending on the position of removal of columns in the different regions. The results that are obtained in all the cases are compared with the normal building Normal Building without floating Columns Figure 2 Normal building in 3-D view Fig 2 shows the 3D view of normal building obtained in the ETabs software and Table 1 shows different specifications of the normal building.

CONCLUSIONS Based on the test results, the following conclusions were made: Use of floating columns results in the increase in the bending moment, shear and Steel requirement. These floating columns are not suitable in the seismic zones in which load travel path will be disturbed due to earth quake and building may be damaged. The optimum position to provide floating column is the at 2 nd floor alternatively so that moment, shear and steel requirement of the whole building can be minimized. Hence provision of floating column is advantageous in providing good floor space index but risky and vulnerability of the building increases.
