Abstract: The usage of floating columns for additional space is a recent trend that caters to functional needs. The architectural feature known as the floating column is prone to poor performance in earthquakes. As a result, it should be avoided in areas prone to earthquakes. Earthquakes primarily affect areas with weak structures; in modern buildings, apertures are often present for lifts, lighting, and other architectural features. This review displays the results of numerous research studies. Different researchers used various floating column locations across the structure. The primary goal of research conducted by multiple researchers is to compare structures with floating columns to those without floating columns. The evaluation is performed to determine whether the building is located on the safer side or if it is subjected to lateral effects. This review of floating columns examines the behaviour and impact on the structure, as well as possible mitigation measures.
