In recent times, multi-storey buildings in urban cities are required to have column free space due toshortage of space, population and also for aesthetic and functional requirements. For this buildings are provided withfloating columns at one or more storey. These floating columns are highly disadvantageous in a building built inseismically active areas. The earthquake forces that are developed at different floor levels in a building need to becarried down along the height to the ground by the shortest path. Deviation or discontinuity in this load transfer pathresults in poor performance of the building. The object of the present work is to study the behaviour of G+3 buildingshaving floating columns. However recent studies based on floating columns, which mostly concentrated on higherseismic zones and very few works is available for lower seismic zones Also to obtain the effects of mass variations andinfill walls on behaviour of normal and floating column building.
