The structural integrity of multi-story buildings under seismic loads is a critical aspect of earthquake-resistant design. The presence of floating columns, commonly introduced for architectural flexibility, can significantly affect the performance of a building during seismic events. Additionally, the use of composite columns offers a potential solution to improve structural stability and load distribution. This paper presents a comprehensive review of 23 research studies focusing on the seismic analysis of G+15 buildings with and without floating columns using ETABS software, incorporating composite columns. The studies primarily assess parameters such as base shear storey drift, displacement, and structural stability under different seismic conditions.
