This comparative analysis explores the structural performance of multi-storey buildings with and without floating columns, with a specific focus on seismic resistance. The study involves an in-depth examination of the seismic analysis of reinforced concrete (RC) framed buildings across various strata. Additionally, the research includes a comparison of structures incorporating shear walls with those incorporating floating columns in terms of key parameters such as displacement, storey shear, time period, and base shear under earthquake excitation. Floating columns are commonly employed in building design to meet spatial requirements and enhance the aesthetic elevation of the structure. However, this study reveals critical insights into the economic viability and seismic performance of structures utilizing floating columns. The findings indicate that structures with floating columns, especially when designed for earthquake resistance, may not be cost-effective. Moreover, the inclusion of floating columns is associated with increased displacement, bending moment, storey shear, time period, and steel requirements for the overall structure. This research contributes to the understanding of the trade-offs and considerations involved in choosing between multi-storey buildings with and without floating columns, shedding light on the structural implications and economic factors that influence such design decisions.
