Many urban multistorey buildings in India today have open first Storey as an unavoidable feature. This is primarily being adopted to accommodate parking or reception lobbies in the first Storey. Whereas the total seismic base shear as experienced by a building during an earthquake is dependent on its natural period, the seismic force distribution is dependent on the distribution of stiffness and mass along the height. The term floating column is a vertical member which ends at its lower-level rests on a beam which is a horizontal member. The beams in turns transfer the load to other column below it. In present scenario buildings with floating column is a typical feature in the modern multistory construction in India. In present paper effort has been taken to decide proper position of floating column. G+4, G+10 and G+20 buildings were analyzed and it is found that the building with floating column at central position behaves well.

Index Terms - Multistorey, seismic, floating column.
