A significant portion of the existing building stock consists of irregular reinforced concrete RC structures. One sort of anomaly that frequently improves seismic resistance is discrete geometry of vertical parts. The seismic design standards' design requirements really only apply to public buildings, and even if other seismic design standards criteria are met, safety is still in doubt. In this study, the seismic failure capacity, resistance to collapse during earthquake peaks, and failure processes of reinforced concrete buildings with discontinuous columns designed in accordance with recent seismic standards are evaluated. The effectiveness of the seismic design requirements and its constraints are assessed for the building. In this research work prepares 10 storey models with various irregularities. With the help of ETABS M30 grade of concrete and HYSD 550 grade of steel used as material for modelling work. There are total 4 cases one is 10 floors building with bare frame, second is 10 Floor building with floating column on odd floor at corner, third is 10 floors building with floating column near outer corners on odd floor and last final model is 10 floors building with floating column corridor on odd alternate floor. To compare the story drift and nodal displacement for all models with and without floating columns collect their data and compare their graphs. A comparative analysis concluded that maximum value of displacement occurs in multi-storey building with floating column corridor on odd alternate floor and minimum value of displacement in Multistorey building with bare frame. Maximum value of displacement occurs in multi-storey building with floating column corridor on odd alternate floor and minimum value of displacement in multi-storey building with bare frame.
