Modern multi-storey buildings are constructed with irregularities such as soft storey, vertical or plan irregularity, floating column and heavy loads. These types of structures have become a very common construction practice in urban India. It is observed that most of the RC structures with such irregularities constructed are highly undesirable in seismically active areas from the results of past earthquake studies. These effects occurred due to various reasons, such as non-uniform distribution of mass, stiffness and strength. This study explains the seismic analysis of a multi storey building with floating column constructed in seismically active areas observing its reactions to the external lateral forces exerted on the building in various using the Stadd Pro software. Thus highlighting the alternative measures involving in improvising the nonuniform distribution in the irregular building such as multi-storied building with floating column, and recommended the safer design of such building in seismically active areas considering the results observed from storey displacement, Base shear, Bending Moment, Shear Force, Deflection.
