The document presents a review study on the seismic behavior of tall structures using floating columns and shear walls, focusing on their suitability in urban India for accommodating architectural needs. It involves a comparative analysis of multi-story buildings with and without floating columns under various loading conditions utilizing software like ETABS and STAAD Pro. The findings suggest that while there is minor variance in concrete volume, the steel requirement differs significantly, with floating column structures being more efficient in cost.
