Abstract

This review article focuses on the design and analysis of multi-storied buildings with floating columns in various seismic zones of India. The article presents a detailed analysis of the behavior of floating column structures under seismic loads and evaluates their effectiveness in mitigating effects of earthquakes. The review highlights various design parameters such as column layout, structural configuration, and seismic provisions that play a significant role in ensuring the safety of such structures during seismic events. The study reviews various research works on the design and analysis of floating column structures carried out by researchers in India and abroad. The review also summarizes the seismic code provisions of India and other countries related to the design of floating column structures. The review concludes that floating column structures are an effective way to mitigate the impact of earthquakes on multi-storied buildings. However, the effectiveness of such structures depends on various design parameters and the seismic zone in which they are located. The study recommends further research to develop optimal design strategies for floating column structures in different seismic zones of India.
