Abstract

Earthquakes are natural disasters that damage life and property. These disasters cannot be predicted or
prevented but structures can be made to resist them. There are points of weakness, which may occur due to irregularities
in structures, at which the failure of a structure begins.. Therefore the study of various irregularities in structures
becomes important. In this study, three dimensional reinforced concrete (RC) frame models with floating columns have
been compared with models with no irregularity. Displacement, base shear, storey drift and bending moment are the
parameters considered.
