The incorporation of floating columns in building structures has emerged as a subject of significant interest and concern within the realm of structural engineering. This literature review paper provides a comprehensive examination of the critical aspects surrounding the effect of floating columns in buildings. Through a systematic review of existing research articles, conference papers, and technical reports, this study synthesizes the current state of knowledge regarding floating columns. Various theoretical models, experimental studies, and practical applications are analyzed to elucidate the complexities and implications associated with the presence of floating columns in buildings. The review encompasses an exploration of the structural behavior of buildings with floating columns under different loading conditions, including seismic events, wind loads, and vertical loads. Factors such as column configuration, height, material properties, and foundation type are investigated to understand their influence on structural performance. Moreover, the review examines the implications of floating columns on overall building stiffness, dynamic response, and serviceability criteria. Innovative design approaches and retrofitting techniques aimed at addressing challenges posed by floating columns are also critically evaluated. This literature review contributes to a deeper understanding of the effect of floating columns on building structures, offering valuable guidance for engineers, researchers, and practitioners engaged in the design, assessment, and retrofitting of buildings to ensure structural integrity and occupant safety.
