ABSTRACT
For effective design and good construction practises of multistory
buildings, numerous prior studies have been conducted. When an
earthquake strikes a palace, seismic stresses are produced at the
building's floor level. A variety of structure damage was seen after
the earthquake. This study was conducted in seismic zone IV. In this
work, we examine how tall structures with and without floating
columns behave seismically. There are various situations in
multistory buildings when it may be difficult to place a column in a
certain spot.
This study compares two multistory buildings, one of which supports
its columns directly from the ground, and the other of which has
floating columns in various locations. We prepared the model for the
same height, the same plan, and the same loading condition for this
analysis using the Staad Pro software. We are using an 11-story
building with a 33.8-meter overall height and a layout that measures
18.92 by 19.78 metres for our analysis. There are 50 columns in the
building, and 12 of them are supported by ground floor beams rather
than the ground.
These columns are termed as floating columns. We are providing a
shear panels in those locations where the columns are supported. This
shear wall transfers the load (coming from the floating columns) to
the wall supporting columns. By considering these conditions we
analysis both structures and find out the results of using floating
columns in the same building. In this analysis to comparison of
behavior of tall buildings using with and without floating column is
concluded on parameters maximum beam moment, maximum beam
shear and maximum nodal deflection and volume of concrete and
volume of steel .. By considering these conditions we analysis both
structures and find out the results of using floating columns in the
same building. There is small difference in quantity of concrete in
building having floating columns and building without floating
columns. The Quantity of concrete for building having floating
columns is 654.6 CUM and for Building without floating columns is
666.4 CUM. In this study we concluded that with increase in ground
floor column the maximum displacement; inter storey drift values are
reducing.

INTRODUCTION
Many urban multistory buildings in India today
have open first storey as an unavoidable feature.
This is primarily being adopted to accommodate
parking or reception lobbies in the first storey. In
present scenariobuildingswithfloatingcolumnisa
typical feature in the modern multistory
construction in urban India. Such features are
highly undesirable in building built in seismically
active areas. This studyhighlights the importance
of explicitly recognizing the presence of the
floating column in the analysis of building.
Alternate measures, involving stiffness balance of
the firststorey and the storey above, are proposed

to reduce the irregularityintroduced bythefloating
columns.
Floating column rest on the beam means the beam
which support the column is act as afoundation.
That beam is called as transfer beam. This is
widely used in high storiedbuildings which are
used for both commercial and residential purpose.
This helps toalter the plan of the top floors to our
convenience. The transfer beam that support
floating column will be designed with more
reinforcement.
The total seismic base shear as experienced by a
building during an earthquake is dependent on its
natural period; the seismic force distribution is
dependent on the distribution of stiffness and
mass along the height. The behavior of a building
during earthquakes depends critically on its
overall shape, size and geometry, in addition to
how the earthquake forces are carried to the
ground.
Buildings with columns that hang or float on
beams at an intermediate storey and donot go all
the way to the foundation, have discontinuities in
the load transfer path.
Instructural engineering, ashear wallisastructural
system composed of braced panels(also known as
shear panels) to counter the effects of lateral load
acting on a structureFEM codes are developed
for 2D multi storey frames with and without
floating column to study the responses of the
structure under different earthquake excitation
having different frequency content keeping the
PGA and time duration factor constant.The time
history of floor displacement, inter storey drift,
base shear, overturningmoment are computed for
both the frames with and without floating column.
The behavior of a building during earthquakes
depends critically on its overall shape, size and
geometry, in addition tohowtheearthquakeforces
are carried to the ground.The earthquake forces
developed at different floor levels in a building
need to be brought down along the height to the
ground by the shortest path; any deviation or
discontinuity in this load transfer path results in
poor performance of the building. Buildings with
vertical setbacks (like the hotel buildings with a
few storey wider than the rest) cause a sudden
jump in earthquake forces at the level of
discontinuity. Buildings that have fewer columns
orwalls in aparticular storeyorwithunusuallytall
storeytend to damageor collapse which is initiated
inthat storey. Manybuildings withan open ground
storey intended for parking collapsed or were
severely damaged in Gujaratduringthe2001 Bhuj
earthquake. Buildings with columns that hang or
floatonbeams at an intermediate storey and do not
go all the way to the foundation, have
discontinuities in the load transfer path.
Tall Structure
Tall buildings throughout the world are becoming
popular day by day. With the advent of modern
day construction technology and computers, the
basic aim has been to construct safer buildings
keeping in view the overall economics of the
project. A high-rise building, apartment tower,
office tower, apartment block, or block of flats, is
a tall building or structure used as a residential
and or office use. In some areas they may be
referred to as "Multi Dwelling Unit" or “Vertical
cities”. They have the potential to decongest the
urban sprawl on the ground level, and increase the
urban density, housing higher number of families
in lesser space
Massachusetts, United States General Laws
define a high-rise as being higher than 70 feet (21
m).
Most building engineers, inspectors, architects
and similar professions define a high-rise as a
building that is at least 75 feet (23 m) tall.
METHODOLOGY
GENERAL
In this study the behavior of building frame with and
without floating column is studied under static load,
Dynamic load and seismic loading condition. The
Response Spectrum method is adopted for dynamic
analysis in the STAAD. Pro.
Two 9 story two bay 3D building frame with and
without floating columns are analyzed for static
loading using the present FEM code and for dynamic
loading using Response Spectrum method. For
analysis of the commercial software STAAD Pro. For
this study we design a 9- story building tower with all
columns supporting tothe ground and another same
building is design with floating columns. These
columns are supported by a shear wall provided in
place of brick masonry wall.
Floating column: The columns supported by beams
or walls directly not to the ground, are termed as
floating columns. These columns transfer the load to
the beams and then through beams it is transfer to
another column and then to the foundations.
Shear Wall: The wall constructed by reinforcement
concrete to resist shear force occurs in the building is
termed as shear wall.

We provide shear wall instead of brick masonry wall.
By using shear wall there are two measure benefits.
one it resists and transmit vertical load and moment
easilyto the supporting columns and there is no need
to provide extra support. Second it works as wall and
hence there is no need to provide masonry wall hence
there are miner difference in cost.
Modelling In STAAD. Pro V8i
STAAD.pro offers a state-of-the-art user interface,
visualization tools, modeling tools, property assign,
powerful analysis and design engines with advanced
finite element and dynamic analysis method.
STAAD.ProV8i is a computer program developed by
Research Engineers International at Yorba Linda, CA
in 1997.
STAAD.pro consists of the following:
The STAAD.pro Graphical User Interface
generate the model, assigned property and apply
loads. Then analysis can perform using the
STAAD engine. After analysis and design is
completed, the results show graphically in anal
files.
The STAAD analysis and design engine: It is a
general-purpose calculation engine forstructural
analysis and integrated Steel, Concrete design.
Before start modeling in STAAD.pro V8i I have
solved sample, problems using STAAD.pro and then
checked the results obtained from STAAD pro V8i
with manual design. The results obtained from
STAAD pro V8i were to satisfaction and were
accurate as manual design. In the initial phase of
project I have done calculations considered dead load,
live load, seismic load and wind load.
Problem Statement
This study is based on the comparison of two
multistory buildings one having column support
directly to the ground and other having floating
column in various locations. For this analysis we used
STAAD. Pro software and prepare model for same
height, same plan and same loading condition. We are
taking a 9-story building for analysis having 33.8 m
height from ground level and 18.92 x 19.78 m is plan.
There 50 columns in building and 12 columns in
various different locations are supported in second
floor beams not to ground. These columns are termed
as floating columns. Weare providing a shear wall in
those locations to support the columns. This shear
wall transfers the load (coming from the floating
columns) to the wall supporting columns. By
considering these conditions we analysis both
structures and find out the results ofusing floating
columns in the same building. These models are
analyzed for dead load, wind load and seismic load.
Dead load was designed according to IS: 875-
1987(Part 1) and Seismic load was designed using
response spectrum method for earthquake zone IV of
India using IS: 1903-2002. The details of the modeled
tanks are listed below. Modal damping of 5% is
considered with SMRF and Importance Factor (I)
=1.2
For wall design the four nodes plates are used in the
both models. In the output of slab design the
longitudinal reinforcements, which coincides with the
local x direction of the element, and, transverse
reinforcement, which coincides with the local y
direction of the element, is provided.
To create a design member, use the Normal Cursor
(also known as Elements Cursor) to select one or more
analytical beams, then click on the menu item
Member>Form Member. Information on Design
Members can be selected using the Members Cursor.
Details of design members can be seen in the
Members Table.
To delete a design member, use the Members to select
it and press 'Delete' on the keyboard or from the Edit
menu.
Note that an analytical beam segment can only be part
of one design member definition.
Design members can be designed with either Beam or
Column Design Briefs.
To create a design slab, use the Plates Cursor to select
one or more finite elements, then click on the menu
item Slabs>Form Slab. Information on design slabs
that have been created is listed in the Slabs Table.
Assumptions
The following various assumptions were made before
the start of the modellingprocedure so as to maintain
similar conditions for all the two models:
Only the main building frame made by column
and beam is considered for analysis.The load of
slab and staircases are assigned directly to the
beams in both models.
230 mm thick shear wall with 15 mm plaster
on each side will be considered forsupporting
the floating columns.
Floating columns are supported directly to the
shear wall provided. These shear walls are
supported by ground floor columns.
Columns are terminated in the second floor.
The sizes of floating columns are asusual as
other building.
The beam sizes are 300 X450mm for the plinth
beams and 230X450mm are for allother beams
in both models.

There are different columns sizes according to
load and moment occurs. Detail ofcolumns are
given in table.
The slab thickness is considered 150 mm and
finishing is consider 75mm.
The beams are resting centrally on the
columns so as to avoid the conditions of
eccentricity.
For all structural elements, grade of concrete is
taken M-30& and grade of steel istaken Fe-500.
Cover for the Beams is provided 25mm and
40mm for the columns and 35mm for theshear
walls.
The footings are not designed. And supports are
assigned in the form of fixedsupports.
Seismic loads are considered in the horizontal
direction only and the vertical direction are
assumed to be insignificant.
Seismic Zone-IV is considered for the calculation
of seismic load.
Sizes of members and model details are as

LOAD CALCULATION
The loading of the building is considered as per following calculation
1. Dead Loads are applied as: -
Self-weight of the structure is automatically taken by software itself.
The self-weight of slab = .150m x 1 x 1 x 25= 3.75 KN/m2
The floor finish load of slab = .075m x 1 x 1 x 25= 1.875 KN/m2
Load due to masonry Wall = 0.23 x 2.75 x 20 = 12.65 KN /m
2. Live Loads
The live load is considered 2 KN/m2 on all floor and 3 KN/m2
on balcony, landing and Corridorareas.
3. Earthquake Loads
In this present work “response spectrum method” of analysis is used.
As per “IS 1893-2005” Part-4 code book seismic loading is assigning to the structure.

For reliable method of analysis, the combined action of DL, LL, WL & EQ forces areconsidered i.e. 1.2 DL
+ 1.2 LL + 1.2 EQX+ 1.2 WL. The structures with different geometries and various floors have been
modelled using STAAD.pro software. Total 26 combinations of different above-mentioned load conditions
are generated andapplied. For design of a slab and shear walls the four nodes plate is used in both models.
These plates are supported by beam directly and transmit the load to the beams.
The supports are taken as fixed support in building without floating columns and the crass sections are

assumed rectangular in geometry.
The live load is taken as 2 KN/m2
and floor load is taken as 3 KN/m2
. The wall load isconsidered as UDL of
15.81KN/m in all models. And shear wall load is considered UDL of 18.11 KN/m.
Codes used for design are: RCC Design - IS 456:2000; Seismic Loads - IS 1893:2000(Part 1) and Wind
Loads – ASCE 7. The building frames are analyzed in STAAD.pro V8i by modelling and the average
displacement, beam stresses, slab stresses, storey drift and base shear are calculated to give a comparative
result in between the different framing systems.
The behavior of both framing systems is taken as a basic study on the modeled
structures. The lateral drift/deflection ratio is checked against the clause 7.11.1 of IS-1893:2002 i.e. under
transient seismic loads.
The following parameters were considered to present a comparison between thedifferent frames:
Maximum Beam Shear
Maximum Beam Moments
Maximum Nodal Deflections
Maximum Axial Load on Columns Footing
Volume of Steel and Volume of concrete

CONCLUSIONS & FUTURE SCOPE OF WORK
From the above study following conclusions can be
made:
No. of columns are less in floating column
building as comparison to tall building without
using floating column
The maximum +Ve moment in the building
having floating columns is 4552.079 N-mand for
the building without floating columns is 5940.73
N-m. and maximum -Ve moment in the building
having floating columns is -9650.54 N-m and for
the buildingwithout floating columns is -5940.73
N-m. The detail comparison is given in Table
No.-5.1 & 5.2.
The maximum shear force in the building having
floating columns is 1461.41KN and for the
building without floating columns is 1149.72KN.
The detail comparison is given in Table No.-5.3
& 5.4.
The maximum axial load in the building having
floating columns is 1651.9 KN and for the
building without floating columns is 1309.72 KN.
The detail comparison is given in Table No.-
5.5&5.6.
The maximum Nodal displacement in the
building having floating columns is 8.213mm and
for the building without floating columns is
6.807mm. The detail comparison is given in
Table No.-5.7& 5.8.
In this study we concluded that with increase in
ground floor column the maximum displacement;
inter storey drift values are reducing.
The base shear and overturningmoment varywith
the change in column dimension.
The vertical load and moment are more in
columns supporting the shear wall. Hence there
are need to increase the sizes of these columns.
Hence there are more chances of settlement of
these columns carrying heavy load or need to
greater strength in footing.
Shear wall provide large stiffness to the building
in there placed direction, it reduces damage and
sway effect on building
Shear wall resists horizontal shear force occurs by
seismic load and wind load. And hence it
provides extra stability to the building.
There is small difference in quantity of concrete
in building having floating columns and building
without floating columns. The Quantity of
concrete for building having floating columns is
654.6 CUM and for Building without floating
columns is 666.4 CUM.
FUTURE SCOPE OF WORK
Due to changing of the zone, the earthquake
intensities will also be changed. HenceIn such
condition, the analysis can be done for other
different zone.
In this study I am using corner shear wall, similar
study can be continued with different types of
shear wall and ground conditions.
The analysis can be performed by using
conventional Slabs in future different type of slab
is used.
Same study can be done in other different
conditions.
