Analysis Of An Unsymmetrical Tall Structure Considering Floating Column Considering Lateral Forces Using Analysis Tool Staad.pro

Abstract

Floating Columns Are One Of The Important Aspects Of Multi-storey Structures Due To Their Various Advantages Thus Seem To Be Unavoidable. Floating Columns Are Generally Not Found Reliable In Seismic Prone Areas. This Research Is Followed Towards Analyzing The Performance Of Floating Columns Structure And Traditional Structure Prone To Seismic Load. The Primary Advantage Of Using Floating Columns Is That Using Such Provides Maximum Parking When Using In-ground Floors Or Wide-open Areas When Used At Upper Storey Due As The Rest Of Beams Without Having A Foundation. These Columns Have Discontinuities In The Load Move Way And Are Intended For Gravity Load However These Structures Are Not Intended For Tremor Loads. So These Structures Are Dangerous In Seismic Inclined Regions. The Research Was Focused On Analyzing The Effects Of Floating Columns When Placed At Various Location In Symmetrical And Unsymmetrical Structure In Two Different Seismic Zones Under Response Spectrum Analysis Using Staad.Pro.v8i. Even Variation Of Soil Namely Soft And Hard Soil Is Considered In The Comparison. The Analysis Of Floating Columns Was Done Considering The Parameters Namely The Base Shear, Storey Displacement, Storey Drift And Storey Acceleration Concerning Subject Multi-storey Structure With Different Placement Of Floating Columns.
