Abstract
AbstractAs the population grows and civilization develops, the need for industrialization and building construction grows rapidly. Demand of construction is particularly high in construction of residential and commercial buildings. A flat slab is commonly used in the construction of commercial and residential buildings. Flat slab structure is efficient as compared to other types of slab structure in terms of economy, architectural system, simple formwork methods, efficient use of spaces, and shorter construction of time. In flat slab structural arrangement, the slab is directly supported on the column, and the load is transferred directly to the column and then to the foundation. The objective of the present study covers behavioral study of multi-story buildings having different slab structure. The amount of steel and concrete use, costing of structures, nodal displacement, bending moment, and analysis of different structures are compared by using STAAD Pro V8i software as per IS 456:2000. Fe-415 steel grade and M25 grade of concrete are considered. In this present study, analysis and design of flat slab or plate slab, conventional slab, grid, or waffle slab for G+4 building in seismic zone III having medium soil condition are considered. Analysis of structure is concluded using STAAD Pro V8i software which saves lot of time as compared to manual calculations. The results show that flat slab structure is efficient as compared to other slab structures for given G+4 structure.KeywordsSlab structuresFlat slabGrid slabAnalysis of slab structure
