Analysis of Multistoried Building With and Without Floating Column Using ETABS

Abstract

In today's scenario, buildings with floating columns are a common feature in modern multistory construction in the world. These floating columns are presented to the building so that it can be used for both commercial and residential purposes, and they begin at the story level where the building should be used as a residential building. The influence of floating columns of an RC frame structure for G+8 story at zone 2 in Bangladesh was investigated in this study, as well as the effect of floating column position at different locations in the considered plan. In this study I make three cases by removing column for different side, after analysis I make a list for taking the column that are not similar according all three cases, in this study, I found that, whenever you remove a column then the building column size increased due to removed column, so after analysis the building in first case I found that the maximum columns size was 400X550mm in second case the maximum was 500X700mm and finally in the third case it was 400x950mm so as we can see whenever we remove column then the column size increased due to applied load. The repeatedly column that I have seen in all three cases is column C19. Finally, analysis results in the building such as finding the maximum and minimum size of the column, repeatedly column were discussed in this study.
