Review on “Effect of Floating Columns on Building subjected to seismic Forces”

In recent trends, Floating column is used to occupy more spaces for functional requirement. Floating Column is that architectural feature which gives poor response to earthquake. Hence it should be avoided in Earthquake prone zones. This review shows the responses of various studies done by Researchers. Comparison of result is done with respect to different parameters like bending moment, storey shear, displacement, time period etc. Authors have modelled various structures such as conventional Building, building with Floating Columns, building modelled with different solutions and their solution is compared. This review also focuses on the methodology to be adopted to have better seismic response of Building with Floating Column.
