Maximal Support Reaction Analysis of the Impact of Infill Masonry and Floating Columns on a Seismic Zone-II High-Rise Building

Our country's population is quickly expanding, so we need to build towering structures that can withstand high drift and displacement as a result of lateral forces to accommodate this massive increase in people. The failure of tall structures can also be caused by earthquakes or other seismic events. This issue should be solved before towering structures are built. Floating columns, which are vertical elements given over beams and do not rely on the ground, can be used to make these tall structures safe. This strategy is used in earthquake-prone areas to keep loads coming down on the ground consistent so that the path of transfer does not alter. 13 different loading combinations are used in this study for each scenario, they are all based on Indian Standards, with column and beam measurements of 450 mm × 450 mm and 400 mm × 300 mm, respectively. We discovered that infill walls may distribute stresses evenly; the position of the floating column affects the structure's forces and bending moment in any instance when the number of story is varied. This causes the forces and bending moment to drop, creating an affordable section.
