Abstract

Construction with flat slabs is quite dangerous when there is strong earthquake shaking. Two different forms of flat slab buildings—flat slab with shear wall at core and flat slab with x-bracing—are considered in the study. These flat slab constructions’ structural rigidity is increased by this lateral force-resisting mechanism. It has been found that adding a shear wall considerably boosts the flat slab structure’s ability to withstand lateral forces.
