To Study the Comparative Analysis of Multi-storey Building with Floating and Rotating Column

Abstract

The objective of this study is to compare the structural behaviour and performance of building with floating column and rotating column with the conventional multi-storey building. Floating columns are designed to suspend the upper floors of a building, offering potential benefits in terms of architectural aesthetics. It increased usable space, as the ground floor can be utilized for parking or commercial purposes. Rotating columns, on the other hand are designed to allow rotational movement or rotation around their vertical axis. The construction of a rotating column involves using specialized design considerations and detailing. This study presents a comprehensive seismic analysis comparing buildings with floating columns and rotating columns to a conventional building. To achieve this objective, analyses will be conducted using software and structural analysis techniques. The study will include the evaluation of various parameters such as storey drift, base shear, deflection, bending moment, shear force. Additionally, this study aims to provide solution to enhance seismic performance of buildings and provide structural stability to building with floating column and rotating columns.
