Abstract

Abstract: In the conventional method, a beam with a large beam depth and a small slab thickness supports the slab. The weight is transferred from beams to columns. The flat slab is method in which the slab is resting directly on columns .The flat slab allows architects to provide partition wall wherever it is needed. To supports heavy loads and thickness of slab near the support with the column is increased and these are called drops ,or columns are provided with enlarged heads are called column heads .As the beam is not there in flat slab it gives the plain ceiling consequently giving better architectural appearance. The flat slab building is used these days because these structures offers many benefits which a normal slab structure does not provide .The objectives of this project is to compare multi-storey residential building having flat slab with conventional slab . The design and analysis is done by using ETABS software. This present work provides reasonable information about the stability of flat slab.
