Abstract: In present scenario, a building with floating column is a typical feature in the modern multi-storey construction in urban India. The term floating column is vertical element which at its lower level rests on a beam. The beams in turn transfer the load to other columns below it. These floating columns are provided, so that more open space is available in the ground floor. As far as analysis is concerned, the column is often assumed pinned at the base. In this study Push over analysis is adopted because this analysis will yield performance level of building for design capacity (displacement) carried out up to failure, it helps in determination of collapse load and ductility capacity of the structure. Two RC buildings are considered one without floating column and another with floating column which are being analyzed by using ETABS 2015 software. Finally the results of pushover analysis for both the building are compared in terms of Roof displacement, Base shear and Hinge formation.
