Comparative Study of Floating and Non Floating Column of Plaza Building Subjected to Seismic Loading by Using Staad-Pro Software

  Kapil Dev Mishra,  Dr A. K. Jain

Floating columns are a typical feature adopted in the modern age multi-storey building construction These floating columns reduces the efficiency of the building to resist seismic forces up to large extent, that is why these are the extremely undesirable unit in the seismic prone areas. In this paper, a multi storied Plaza building of storey (G+2+3) having different position of floating columns(4 columns of mid ordinate axis or 4 columns of diagonal axis) at different height of building( at the level above second floor) at two different zones (ZONE III and ZONE IV)are considered for analysis. The plan area of building up to second floor is 30m×30m and above this floor area is reduced to 20m×20m. Height up to second floor of the building is used for parking or commercial shops having floor height of 4m and above this it is used for residential and office purpose. Different combinations of office and residential floors are considered. Floating columns are provided at office floor. These are the following consideration where comparison is done based on results from the software, Support reaction at the base, maximum moment at the joint.
