A REVIEW ON COMPARATIVE STUDY OF SEISMIC BEHAVIOR OF FLAT SLAB AND CONVENTIONAL RC FRAMED STRUCTURE

Abstract

In present era, flat slab buildings are commonly used for the construction as it has many advantages over
conventional RC frame building in terms of architectural flexibility, use of space, easier formwork and shorter
construction time. In the present work a G+5, G+8 and G+11multistiried building having flat slab with drop, flat slab
without drop and conventional slab has been analyzed using ETABS software for the parameters like storey
displacement, storey shear, storey drift, axial force, base shear. The performance and behavior of all the models in
seismic zone III has been studied. The main objective of the present work is to compare the behavior of multi storey
buildings having conventional RC frame, flat slab with drop and flat slab without drop and to study the effect of height of
building on the performance on these types of buildings under seismic forces. Linear dynamic response spectrum
analysis and non linear dynamic time history analysis is performed on the structure to get the seismic behavior.
