Abstract: Floating column building is a new fascination for engineers. As floating column buildings provides more space and good aesthetics to the building. But have high structural challenges, when a floating column is provided in a multi-story building in a high seismic zone. This paper reviews several studies conducted on the floating column building and its behavior under seismic loads. This paper studies that floating column building are vulnerable to the high seismic zones. The risk of damage also depends on the shape and size of the buildings.The ductile detailing of the joints is the promising solution for immediate failure of such buildings. Keywords: Floating Column, Response spectrum analysis. Vulnerable, damage, multi-story

This paper describes the finite element considerations employed in a seismic response spectrum analysis of a skirt supported, liquid containing pressure vessel. Like many axisymmetric cylindrical vessels, the gross seismic response to an input response spectrum can be categorized by a simplified lump mass model that includes both the mass of the vessel proper in combination with the associated mass of multiple fluid levels. This simplified response may be utilized to determine the initial sizing of the supporting configuration, such as a skirt, but lacks the ability to properly address the fluid-structure interaction that creates sloshing loads on the vessel walls. The most obvious method to address the fluid-structure interaction when considering the finite element method is to build a three-dimensional model of the vessel proper, including, but not limited to the shell courses, the top and bottom heads (for a vertical vessel), and the support skirt. The inclusion of the fluid effects may now be incorporated with a “contained fluid” finite element, however, for vessels of any significant volume, the number of finite elements can easily exceed 100,000 and the number of degrees of freedom can sore from as few as 300,000 to as many as 500,000 or more. While these types of finite element analysis problems can be solved with today’s computer hardware and software, it is not desirable in any analysis to have that volume of information that has to be reviewed and approved in a highly regulated nuclear QA environment (if at all possible). With these items in mind, the methodology described in this paper seeks to minimize the number of degrees of freedom associated with a response spectrum analysis of a liquid filled, skirt supported vertical pressure vessel. The input response spectra are almost always provided in Cartesian coordinates, while many, if not most liquid containing pressure vessels are almost always axisymmetric in geometry without having benefit of being subjected to an axisymmetric load (acceleration in this case) due to the specified seismic event. The use of harmonic finite elements for both the vessel structure and the contained fluid medium permit the efficiencies associated with an axisymmetric geometry to be leveraged when the seismic response spectrum is formulated in terms of a Fourier series and combined to regain the effects of the two orthogonal, horizontally applied accelerations as a function of frequency. The end result as discussed and shown in this paper is a finite element model that permits a dense mesh of both the fluid and the structure, while economizing on the number of simultaneous equations required to be solved by the chosen finite element analysis.

Floating column is a type of columns which distributes the load to beams rather than foundation. This is common in multi storey buildings which are anticipated to accommodate parking at ground floor or open halls at higher floors. These columns have discontinuities in the load path when a column coming from top of the building is discontinued at a lower level, usually at the ground storey. The structure with floating column should be designed for earthquake loads so these buildings will be in seismic prone areas. In this study, the effect of various lateral stability techniques to the building with floating columns on various structural response quantities of the building using response spectrum analysis is studied. The main objective here is to study the seismic response of building with floating columns with various lateral stability techniques and to find out the most appropriate configuration for providing floating columns. Various parameters such as story displacement, storey drift, story shear, story stiffness of a building is studied with respect to different configurations of floating columns.

A dynamic model of the single vertical centrifugal pump was established to avoid seismic disadvantageous direction towards the direction of continually occurring earthquake during the designing and the installing. Finite element method was used to analyse the single vertical centrifugal pump and educe the first 20 natural frequencies and vibration shapes. Response spectrum method was adopted to do earthquake analysis. Response spectrum was inputted from different directions for getting different displacements and loads. According to the results, model’s direction of 45°~75° should be located at the direction of continually occurring earthquake to avoid the maximum vibration.
