    First of all you have to design that story building to provide reinforcement for all members such as slab ,beam,etc. by using different code such as IS etc.

    Torsion is the twisting of a beam under the action of a torque (twisting moment). It is systematically applied to screws, nuts, axles, drive shafts etc, and is also generated more randomly under service conditions in car bodies, boat hulls, aircraft fuselages, bridges, springs and many other structures and components. A torque, T , has the same units (N m) as a bending moment, M . Both are the product of a force and a distance. In the case of a torque, the force is tangential and the distance is the radial distance between this tangent and the axis of rotation.

    All torsion problems can be solved using the following formula:

    T/J = shear stress/ r = (G * angle)/ L

    where:

    T = torque or twisting moment, [N×m, lb×in]
    J = polar moment of inertia or polar second moment of area about shaft axis, [m4, in4]
    τ = shear stress at outer fibre, [Pa, psi]
    r = radius of the shaft, [m, in]
    G = modulus of rigidity (PanGlobal and Reed’s) or shear modulus (everybody else), [Pa, psi]
    θ = angle of twist, [rad]
    L = length of the shaft, [m, in]

    Avoid soft storey? A soft storey is a storey with lateral stiffness less than the storey just above. So technically, you cannot avoid soft storey just by calculation. Right?

    Avoid soft storey? A soft storey is a storey with lateral stiffness less than the storey just above. So technically, you cannot avoid soft storey just by calculation. Right?

    Well, according to the new code for seismic design, IS 1893 Part I (2016), infill masonry walls in soft storeys of RC buildings can be modeled as diagonal struts to contribute to lateral stiffness.Though this doesn’t guarantee that the resulting storey stiffness with the contribution of infill walls, will be greater than that of the storey above.

    Method :

    • In buildings with RCC moment resisting frames with a soft storey (stiffness irregularity), when the structural plan density (SPD) of masonry infills exceeds 20%, the effect of unreinforced masonry infills (URM infills) has to be considered explicitly using structural analysis especially for buildings in earthquake zones III, IV and V.
    • The compressive strength, fª of URM infill prism is calculated as per IS 1905 or according to the formula in IS 1893 (2016) clause 7.9.2.1.
    • The URM infill walls are modelled as diagonal struts with ends pin jointed to the RC frames. The width of the struts are calculated as per clause 7.9.2.1 of IS 1893 (2016). Thickness, t is taken as equal to the thickness of the URM walls themselves provided h/t < 12 and l/t < 12 where h and t are the clear height and clear length of the diagonal struts.
    • The stiffnesses of the diagonal struts are added to the earlier floor stiffness and the new storey stiffness is calculated. If soft storey condition ceases, we can proceed with further analyses.

    [Note : Even after reading the answer please do refer to table 6, fig. 4 and section 7.9 of IS 1893 Part I (2016) for two formulae mentioned above and a clearer understanding of the method in detail.]

    But why you want a column raised on a slab. The moment you do, a point load will come on slab at that point so it is not possible/advisable. Describe problem for alternative solution.
    You can’t build a column on slab unless slab is designed for the load you needed for. It is regarded as pt load on slab which is usually not designed for it, it all relies on what purpose you want to raise the column on slab.

    Anchor bars are the bars which are given on compression side to hold the stirrups or lateral reinforcements and the main bars.
