In Reinforced Cement Concrete structures lateral loads are first which will grow proportionally with growth in floor height of the structure as a result of which lateral loads more effective in the top story in contrast to the bottom story due to which the structures are likely to react as cantilever and that forces develop high stresses, produce sway movement leads to serious damages and hence at last results in failure of the structure. Each of these causes form the study of the effect of lateral loads very dominant. Column is the most critical member in the building subjected to earthquake loading because failure of a column can affect the stability of the whole building. Column may fails due to lack of ductility, strength and weak beam column joint. A model of a 10 storey structure is made on ETABS Software and analysis of reinforced concrete framed structure under earthquake excitation has been carried using the linear static analysis methods as per the guidelines provided in IS1893:2016 codes to simulate seismic analysis. In order to study the effect seismic force in zone IV of India a multi-storey hotel building of G+9 of rectangular Shape configuration is taken in zone IV with and without having Floating column at different location is analysed using linear static method. Based on results and comparing the parameters of different cases with and without Floating column & Bracings System the conclusion can be made.
