What is a floating column? You mean the planted columns? In my understanding you have columns supported on a beam which is then supported by a wall at one end and a column on the other end. Yes you check the beam with special omega eq load combination (2.8 factor as you said). What is the beam size btw that is supporting planted columns of 8 stories? Is shear okay at wall-beam junction? Also try inserting the beam into the wall a little further (not node-node connection). Did you check the wall stresses at beam connection? Is the supporting beam a deep beam?

Thank you Waseem Sir, This is A four Storey Building having Basement Shear walls and Having Two Elevators Which are not Symetric about X Axis, Will make it symetric and then will hear from you,
