Sesimic Analysis of Multistorey Building Having a Floating Column and Shear Wall with an Introduction to Flat Slab

Seismic behavior of multistoried building or high rise structures having various types of structural elements which make structure more vulnerable is peculiar for mankind and disturbing because of erratic nature of volcanic activity. This underground eruption does not only destroy properties which induce economical loss but also affect human life due to immersive loss of individual soul. As per today's situation more open space and additional clear space in stature is attaining importance. More open space is gaining importance to serve parking area in basement, for marriage hall or exhibition hall, shopping complex and much more. Similarly appealing architecture is also in demand for ever in architectural history so increasing headroom by removing beam is a way to accomplish the objective. These necessities is accomplished by adding various structural elements as stated in the introduction viz floating column for open space and flat slab for increasing headroom. With the addition of these elements structure is more prone to volcanic eruptions so it is needed to add some structural element that can adhere the resulting lateral forces i.e., shear wall to resist lateral load resisting system. After analyzing it had been concluded that extensive research is performed on these types of situations with numerous structural practices and methodologies adopted so far to neutralize the seismic effect as much as possible. To analyze the aforesaid problem statement various configuration are modeled and analyzed which is amalgamation of all three structural elements in different combination. To accomplish the objective a G 10 storied multistory building is framed and analyzed against various seismic and non seismic parameters. Various 11 storied models are framed with a combination of three structural elements in which all models have one common element i.e., floating column. So, the models configured in various amalgamations are simple RCC building, building with only floating column, building with floating column and flat slab, building with floating column and shear wall and a combination of all comprising RCC building with floating column, shear wall and flat slab. It has been concluded from investigation that Case D is found most optimum which makes it possible to add structural element viz floating column for more space, flat slab to increasing headroom with the help lateral load resisting system i.e., shear wall to a particular extent within safer limits.
