CHAPTER 1
INTRODUCTION
1.1 GENERAL
Ever since 1970s, new seismic design approaches have allowed architectural engineers
to design new facility with the goal of foreseeable and ductile behaviour in major earthquake,
preventing catastrophe and death. Nevertheless, some regulated damage is expected, and
excessive tremors may cause the facility to be destroyed beyond economic repair. Due to
development of technological advances and superior components, seismic protection of
structures has evolved dramatically in recent years. It was only lately recognised around the
world that it is feasible to build cost-effective buildings that can withstand severe earthquakes
with minimal or no extensive damage. Buildings can be designed in one of two ways to avoid
irreversible damage in earthquake shaking: base isolation or damage-resistant architecture.
Isolation system necessitates the separation of the structure from the floor by energy-dissipating
isolation equipment. This is tried-and-true technology that may add some to the tower's original
cost, but will save money in the long run. Damage-resistant architecture is rapidly evolving in a
range of shapes. There are a range of energy dissipation device connected to the structure in
various ways, including rocking walls or rocking frameworks with or without post-tensioning.
If it's not already the case, damage-resistant design for new construction will soon be no more
expensive than regular architecture.
A columns are vertical element that starts at the ground levels and transfers load to the
floor. A floating columns are vertical element that relies on a beam, which is a horizontal part,
at its ground position. Structures with pillars that hang or float on beams at an intermediary story
and do not reach the foundations have load transfer path irregularities.
The pressure is then transferred to additional columns underneath the beams. The load
was regarded a point load in such column. The preceding Earthquake data has provided adequate
evidence related to the behaviour of many kinds of constructions under various seismic
circumstances, and foundations issues have become a topic of interest for researchers and
technicians. This has resulted in a variety of novel ways for preserving facilities from seismic
damage. One of the most current strategies is Base Separation. The primary goal of base isolation
1
is to provide flexible and energy dispersion by integrating isolated devices known as isolators
between both the foundation and tower. Under earthquake excitations, base isolation effectively
separates the structure from the earth. Isolators systems at the base of the building will use an
elastic layer to permit related displacements between the foundations and the edifice. The
introduction of an isolation layer extends the building's basic time period.
1.2 FLOATING COLUMN

A columns are vertical element that starts at the ground levels and transfers load to
the floor. A drifting column is a vertical element that relies on a beam that is a horizontal
member at its lower level (termination Level) owing to architecture condition. The load is
then transferred to additional columns underneath the spans.
Several designs use hovering columns, particularly just above bottom floor when
transferring girders are used, to create greater empty area on the bottom floor. Those open areas
can be needed for a venue or parking. Transferring girders must be correctly planned and
specified, particularly in seismic zone. On the beam that sustains it, the pillar is a concentrate
load. In terms of analysis, the column is generally presumed to be fixed at the base and hence
treated as a point load on the transferring beam. This type of architecture can be analysed using
STAAD Pro, ETABS, and SAP2000. Although drifting columns are capable of carrying gravity
loads, the transferring girder is of suitable size (stiffness) and have very little deformation.

1.3 BASE ISOLATION CONCEPTS
The main idea behind earthquake resistance is to shield a building from the devastating
impacts of a quake by installing a necessary flexibility that isolates the building from the
earthquake motion. Between both the structure and the foundation, the base isolation introduces
a layer of low lateral stiffness. This isolation layer gives the architecture a substantially longer
natural period than its predetermined base natural period. The pseudo-acceleration, and thus the
seismically force in the building, can be reduced by extending the duration. The base isolator in
structures shields the structure against seismic force in two ways: by diverting vibration forces
and by absorbing it. The earthquake energy is dispersed by rendering the building's foundation
flexible (rather than fixed) in transverse direction, thereby lengthening the building's basic period
of time.

CHAPTER 2
REVIEW OF LITERATURE
Pratyush Malaviya, et,al (2014) [1] The major goal of this study is to a columns are vertical
element that starts at the ground levels and transfers load to the earth. A floating column is
a vertical element that relies on a beam that is a horizontally component at its level lower
(termination Level) due to architecture condition. The load is then transferred to other
columns below the beams. Many designs use drifting columns, particularly above the
ground floor when transfer girders are used, to create greater open space on the bottom floor.
These open areas can be needed for an assembly hall or storage. Transferring girders must
be correctly planned and specified, particularly in seismic zone. On the beam that supports
it, the columns is a concentrate load. In terms of analysis, the columns is generally presumed
to be pinned at the base and hence treated as a point load on the transferring beams. The
study of this type of structure can be done with STAAD Pro V8I. Although drifting columns
are capable of carrying gravity loads, the transferring girder must be of suitable size
(stiffness) and have very little deformation.
Sunil Shirol , et,al. [2015][2] In this several of the structures that are damaged by tremors
are severely damaged. As a result, it is vital to protect structures from earthquakes. Isolation
system is an example of a technique for preventing structural damage. Base isolation works
on the premise of separating substructure from superstructure. A G+6 storey model with
and without masonry infill is investigated in this study. Isolators with lead rubber bearings
and friction types were employed. A single diagonal strut was used to simulate the infill.
ETABS-2016 is used to do static and response spectrum analysis. According to the findings,
providing isolators increased the natural time period, eliminating the possibility of
recurrence. Because of the building's flexibility, the base shear and story drifts were greatly
reduced but the displacement increased. When infill activity was taken into account, the
base shear rose, whereas displacement and inter-storey drifting decreased
Jayashri Sarode, et,al (2016)[3] The major goal of the study is to metal composite beams
are widely utilised in architecture and bridge project. Beneath applied stresses, composites
beams are frequently subjected to bending and vertical shear. New models for dislocation,
storey shear, and storey drift must be created in order to design composites beams
7
uniformly. The drifting column is a vertical element that is supported by a beam and has no
foundations. The drifting column is supported by a R.C.C Beam Girder. The girder is shaped
like a beam, and the column load operates as a point load on that beam. The composites
beam is being used in the drifting column structure in this lecture presentation. So because
composites beam is exposed to a rc columns, we can take use of its strengths. Standard
structure, Floating column architecture with R.C.C Beam Girder, and Flotation column
framework with composite structures girder are the three main models compared in this
lecture. Etabs is used to carry out events that shaped.
S.B. Waykule, et,al. (2016)[4] Due to the lack of area, populace, and aesthetic and practical
needs, multi-story structures in metropolitan areas are now obliged to include column-free space.
Structures with one or more storeys are equipped with floating columns. In a structure built in a
seismic activity area, these drifting columns are extremely detrimental. The seismic forces that
emerge at various levels of a structure must be transmitted down the shortest route along the
elevation to the ground. A distortion or discontinuity in this load transfer path causes the building
to function poorly. The general shape, scale, and symmetry of a structure, as well as how seismic
forces are transported to the earth, have a significant impact on its behaviour during tremors.
During in the 2001 Bhuj earthquake in Gujarat, several buildings with an open fields story
designed for storage collapsed or were badly affected.
Isha Rohilla, et,al. [2016] [5] The purpose of this study was to investigate the due to the lack of
spaces, population, and aesthetic and practical needs, multi-story structures in metropolitan areas
are now obliged to include column-free space. Structures with one or more storeys are equipped
with floating columns. In a building constructed in a seismic activity area, these drifting columns
are extremely detrimental. The seismic forces that emerge at various levels of a structure must
be transmitted down the shortest route along the elevation to the bottom. A variation or
discontinuity in this load transfer path causes the structure to function poorly. The essential
location of floating columns in vertically irregular structures for zone II and zone V has been
studied in this study for G+5 and G+7 RC structures. The impact of the size of the beams and
columns that support the load of the floating column has also been considered. The results
generated using ETABS software were evaluated utilizing structural responses such as storey
drift, storey dislocation, and storey shear.
8
Sumana C V, et,al [2016] [6] In the present study, the structure frameworks on sloping ground
(hilly locations) are one of the elements that diminish the building's capacity because the ground
story columns are of varying heights, resulting in a combination of short and long columns.
Furthermore, if a project has an open fields story, it is frequently generated in buildings due to
client requirements or poor planning. If an earthquake hits this structure, it becomes much more
susceptible in catastrophic zones. The purpose of this comparison study was to see how
earthquake loads affected building frameworks on sloping land with fixed and isolated bases in
the hazardous zone. Conventional moment resistant frame calculation models were built in
SAP2000 as three-dimensional frames to carry out dynamically linear seismic analysis in
accordance with IS 1893 Part (I) -2002. The vertical and lateral stiffness of the lead rubber
isolator are developed for the building's maximum gravity load and design distortion, and values
were allocated for isolated models. This research could aid in determining the influence of
isolation system under earthquake excitation, as well as the effective level and stability of the
lead rubber isolator for various storey buildings with base isolation on various sloping terrain.
The results of the analysis demonstrate that the base shear and story acceleration values for the
base individual structure have decreased.
V. Harshitha, et,al. [2017][7] In recent study, much attention has been dedicated to structural
health monitoring mechanism research and innovation, with a focus on reducing wind and
seismic response of structures. Many vibration-control methods have been developed, including
passive, active, semi-active, and hybrid vibration control approaches. The tower's frequency
response is lower than both its fixed base frequency and the primary frequency of ground
movement, allowing it to stay essentially elastic during big earthquake. A passive vibration
control system is base isolation. The framework structure was subjected to free and induced
vibration analysis using the SAP 2000 v15.0.1 computer programme. The framework structure's
free vibration analysis results, such as time period, frequency, mode form, and modular mass
participation ratios, were discovered. The responsiveness of framed structures and the vibration
control effectiveness of framed structures utilising lead rubber bearings were determined using
forced vibration signals (non-linear time history analysis). In this work, isolation bearing are
used on both symmetric and asymmetric structures. Horizontal flexibility at the base aids in
proper energy dissipation at the base level, lowering the seismic demand of the edifice that must
be addressed during designing.
9
Atul N.Kolekar [2017][8] In the investigation, Prior earthquake history has shown that
constructions that are not adequately built and built with the requisite quality can cause major
harm. This fact has led to the necessity to secure the security of tall structures versus seismic
force, necessitating the use of seismic analysis to calculate earthquake responses in order to
construct seismic resistance buildings. Dynamic model of G+12 RC multi-story building frame
including Koyna and Bhuj earthquakes is performed out in the current work using reaction
spectrogram and time history assessment, and the responses of such buildings are compared
using SAP2000 program. Several appropriate criterion have been developed using two-time
histories (i.e. Koyna and Bhuj) (base shear, storey displacement, storey drift). Time history
analysis, rather than reaction spectrum analysis, is advised based on the findings since it more
precisely forecasts response of structures. For same structure, a pushover analysis is undertaken,
and the results show that the structure is seismic activity safe.
TUN MYINT AUNG, et,al [2018][9] In the investigation, evaluation, and designing of a four-
story reinforced concrete frame and its isolations in seismic zone 4, The study results will be
compared between both the fixed base condition and the isolated building condition as a
consequence of multi-direction earthquake motions such as horizontal and vertical earthquakes.
To begin, static analysis is employed to design the helical spring for a fixed base conditions due
to gravity unfactored force. Second, spectrum analysis is used only for horizontal earthquakes,
whereas time history analysis is used for both horizontal and vertical earthquakes. Furthermore,
a comparison of the analysis results at different levels of the building is shown, including forces,
deformations, drifting, accelerations, and shearing. Fixed base has a static period of 0.4 seconds.
The basis isolated period is increased to 0.8, I, and 1.2 seconds for design seismic levels,
according the base isolated idea. The outcomes, when compared to base isolated (1.2 sec) and
fixed base constructing, show that while the deformations of base isolated are greater than fixed
base, other seismographic reactions such as acceleration are substantially lower in base isolated
compared to fixed base, and base isolated has the ability to decrease member force of the
framework.
Shaikh Tabassum Sayyad [2018][10] In the investigation, the most crucial phase in seismic
design, as well as retrofitting a building, is estimating earthquake movements at the structure's
location. The movement in the foundations level of a structure is believed to be equal to ground
free field motion in traditional structural analytical techniques. This hypothesis holds true only
10
for constructions supported by rock or extremely stiff soils. Foundation movement is typically
distinct from free field motion for structures built on soft soils, and a rocking element produced
by support flexibility on horizontal foundations motion has been incorporated. The term "soil-
structure interactions" refers to the impact of the behaviour of the soil directly beneath and
surrounding the foundations on the reaction of the soil-structure under static or dynamic stresses.
A foundations is the interaction between the superstructure and the underlying soil or rock. Only
the vertical loads of the structure must be transferred to the supporting rock under static
conditions. In a seismic setting, the stresses exerted on a foundation by a structure during seismic
excitation can much surpass the stable vertical loads, causing uplift; there will also be horizontal
forces and perhaps motion at ground levels. The soil and rock at the location have unique
properties that can greatly amplify the incoming earthquake motions from of the seismic waves.

4.2 SOFTWARE
Etabs 2016 was used to create this programme. ETABS is a computer programme
designed exclusively for the construction industry. And over 35 years ago [R. W. Clough, et al.,
1963], the conception of special purpose programmes for building type structures was
established. Nevertheless, as engineers implement nonlinear static and dynamic analysis and
leverage the increased computational power currently available to generate larger, more
sophisticated analytical model, the demand for special purpose programmes like ETABS was
never higher.
ETABS allows you to create and change models, run analyses, design, and optimise
designs all from a single platform that is completely integrated into Microsoft Windows. It is
simple to create graphical representations of the findings, including real-time representations of
time-history dispersion. It's also simple to generate printed output, either to a printing or to a file,
for selected or all items. This programme represents a quantum leap ahead in the creation,
modification, analysis, and design of models.
ETABS' analytical skills are as impressive, reflecting the most recent advances in
numerical approaches and solution techniques.

5.1.2 Storey Displacement Observations and Discussions.
We can notice that dislocation increases as storey height rises by reviewing Table 5.1 to
Table 5.8 and analyzing their values in fig. 5.1 to 5.8. With the use of an isolation component
for the superstructure, we can clearly see a reduction in lateral movement.
From the obtained results we can say that structure with base isolator gives better
resistance for displacement and when you compare between the storey height, the 15 storied
structure gives the higher displacement when compare to the 10 storied structure.
5.2 STORY DRIFT
It is defined as ratio of the dislocation of two consecutive floors to their elevation. It is a

crucial phrase in seismic design for research purposes.

5.2.2 Storey Drift Observations and Discussions.

We can see that drift varies as story height rises by looking at Tables 5.9 and 5.16 and compare
their results in figs. 5.9 and 5.16. For similar static analysis, we can plainly see there is a decrease
in laterally drift for isolator construction in both the X and Y directions.
5.3 STOREY SHEAR

The storey shear for each model is obtained from ETABS 2016 and values are plotted against
the storey level.

column without isolators is lesser storey shear 169.4776 KN.
5.4.2 Observation and Discussion on Storey Shear

By comparing Table 5.21 to Table 5.28 and Table 5.21 to Table 5.28, we can deduce that
storey shear is highest at the base of the structure or where structure meets the ground. This is
because of bottom storey is level that is directly contact with the ground and feels the maximum
effect of lateral forces.
5.4 BASE SHEAR

The base shear all values are obtained from ETABS 2015 and listed below

CHAPTER 6
CONCLUSION AND SCOPE FOR FUTURE STUDIES
In this project, a G+9 and G+14 multi-story symmetric RC structure is investigated
utilising reaction spectrum analysis by with dampers and without dampers in the building and
evaluating numerous places inside the building. The investigation produced the following
findings.
1. We can observe that the structure with base isolator are showing the optimum results.
2. The floating column providing at the corner with isolator are giving the optimum results
among the considered.
3. The comparison between with and without isolator, the storey displacement is in the base
isolator are showing the optimum result.
4. The comparison between the with and without isolator, the storey drift is in the base
isolator are showing the lesser value and all are within the permissible limit.
5. In the natural time period the structure with base isolator are showing are higher value
than the without isolator.
6. In the storey shear the structure with base isolator are showing are higher value than the
without isolator.
7. In the base shear the structure with base isolator are showing are higher value than the
without isolator.
8. When compared to the floating column in the centre, the floating column in the corner
has a bigger displacement.
We can observed that when the storey height grows, the displacement increases as well.
The bending moment at the floating column location is high when compare to the other
location in building.
64
SCOPE FOR FUTURE WORKS
 A elevated structure with multiple storeys must be investigated to find the impact of a
floating column in various earthquake regions.
 The current study is grounded on the Response spectrum approach of linear dynamic
analysis. The findings must be confirmed using nonlinear dynamic modeling.
 The research could be expanded to find a way to manage irregularity in such structures
by installing shear walls in strategic spots.
 The investigation can be conducted out on structures with changing slopes or two-
directional slopes.
 Soil structure interaction of Friction pendulum system can be taken into account.
 Building and estimation are required to determine cost efficiency.
