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

A shaking table test of a three-story reinforced concrete (RC) building was conducted. The tested building is vertically irregular because of the first story’s elevated height and the third story’s added RC walls. In addition to far-field ground motions, near-fault ground motions were exerted on this building. A numerical model of the three-story building was constructed. Comparing with the test results indicates that the numerical model is satisfactory for simulating the seismic response of the three-story building. This validated numerical model was then further applied to look into two issues: the effective section rigidities of RC members and the effects of near-fault ground motions. The study results show the magnitude of the possible discrepancy between the actual seismic response and the estimated seismic response, when the effective section rigidities of the RC members are treated as in common practice. An incremental dynamic analysis of the three-story RC building subjected to one far-field and one near-fault ground motion, denoted as CHY047 and TCU052, respectively, was conducted. In comparison with the far-field ground motion, the near-fault ground motion is more destructive to this building. In addition, the effect of the selected near-fault ground motion (i.e. TCU052) on the building’s collapse is clearly identified.

In this paper, a new type SMA damper making use of SMA wire was designed. When the damper was in a tensile, compressed or tensional condition, the SMA wire is always in the condition of tension. The passive energy dissipation control of seismic vibration makes use of the super elasticity and high damping of tensile SMA wire. On the basis of the study of a 10-story building, five groups of the placement of the damper are used in time-history dynamic analysis .By contrasting the five different results, the influencing rules of the placement of the damper on seismic response of the structure can be concluded.

This work deals with the design and experimental evaluation of a passive/active cantilever beam autoparametric vibration absorber mounted on a two-story building-like structure (primary system), with two rigid floors connected by flexible columns. The autoparametric vibration absorber consists of a cantilever beam with a piezoelectric patch actuator, cemented to its base, mounted on the top of the structure and actively controlled through an acquisition system. The overall system is then a coupled nonlinear oscillator subjected to sinusoidal excitation in the neighborhood of its external and internal resonances. The addition of the piezoelectric patch actuator to the cantilever beam absorber makes active the passive vibration absorber, thus enabling the possibility to control its equivalent stiffness and damping and, as a consequence, the implementation of an active vibration control scheme able to preserve, as possible, the autoparametric interaction as well as to compensate varying excitation frequencies and parametric uncertainty.

A vibration reducing system of seismic isolation bearings is introduced into beam string structures. The vibration control on seismic response of beam string structures (BSS) with seismic isolation bearings is discussed. Firstly finite element models for different analyses are established by using explicit dynamic analysis program LS-DYNA. Then the seismic response analyses are performed on a single beam string structure with and without seismic isolation bearings to investigate the effectiveness of the seismic isolation bearings in reducing vibration response of BSS. Furthermore, parametric analyses are conducted to examine the effects of lateral stiffness and damping of the seismic isolation bearings on seismic isolation. The analytical results indicate that the vibration reducing system can effectively reduce the vibration response of BSS against seismic force, and be applied in the vibration control of BSS.
