        abstract = {Modern multi-storey buildings are constructed with irregularities such as soft storey, vertical or plan irregularity, floating column and heavy loads. These type of structures have become a very common construction practice in urban India. It is observed that most of the RC structures with such irregularities constructed are highly undesirable in seismically active areas from the results of past earthquake studies. These effects occurred due to various reasons, such as non-uniform distribution of mass, stiffness and strength. The paper aims towards the review of study of dynamic structural behavior of multi storey building with floating columns conducted by various authors in the past. The analysis is done on building models having different numbers of storey with simple and complex floor plans with floating columns at different floors in different zones. Shear walls, infill walls and bracings are provided to increase the lateral load carrying capacity of the building. Various methods such as Response spectrum method and Time history method are used for linear and non-linear dynamic analysis of building using FEM software. Dynamic action is caused on building by both wind and earthquakes. Finite element base software namely ETABs, SAP2000, STAAD. Pro v8i, used for the analysis which can easily determine the parameter such as lateral forces, shear force, axial force, bending moment, storey shear, storey drift, storey displacement. The analysis results of structural response are plotted to compare and discuss.},
