Abstract: In the present study high rise G+10 building with regular structure and with irregularity are studied and analyzed with and
without floating column. The critical position of floating column has been studied for different locations around the periphery columns
for both regular and irregular structures for zone V. The study highlights the response of G+10 high rise regular and vertically irregular
building with and without presence of floating columns subjected to earthquake forces. The various response parameters such as base
shear, storey drift, node displacement, shear forces and bending moments are studied in the various models. The results are compared to
determine the effects of presence of floating column in a building.
