Abstract
This study presents a detailed comparative analysis of flat slab structures with and without shear walls to evaluate their seismic performance, structural behavior, and overall efficiency. Flat slab structures are widely used in modern construction due to their simplified formwork and enhanced architectural flexibility. However, their seismic performance has been a subject of concern, especially in regions prone to seismic activity. This research involved numerical simulations and analytical investigations to explore the behavior of flat slab structures under seismic loads. In this work, two main factors were considered namely with shear walls and without shear walls for flat slab structure. The Structure is modelled with the ETABS software and analysis according to 1893:2002. The project work is carried out for (G+10) stories of structure and analysis for different models, Flat slab with shear and without shear partitions. Based on the assessment of various parameters, it was observed that the flat slab with shear partition exhibited decreased values of story displacement and drift, along with improved values of story stiffness and shear when compared to the flat slab with shear wall system. Key Words: Flat Slab, Shear Wall, Seismic Loads and E-TABS.
