Abstract

The behaviour of concrete structures is more vulnerable with the effects of floating columns and seismic intensity. Past earthquake history of areas/regions shown that the presence of floating columns resulted in failure of structures and severe damaged. The present project work is to the find the severity and effect of floating columns on the parameters of support reactions, axial forces, displacement, shear forces and twisting moments. In this study a six storey reinforced cement concrete structure is considered with and without floating piers and also the comparisons are made by considering the internal and external floating columns the behaviour of structures is analysed in the zones where earthquakes are prone to occur i.e., zone II, III, IV, and V as per [1], principles for earthquake resistant strategy of structures.
