India is rapidly developing in every aspect now. As a
result of which number of smart cities are now arising. while
building such smart cities major role is played by infrastructural
development. In this infrastructures, speedy and economical
constructions are expected to make them more effective. Among
such effective construction systems, Flat slab system is the one
and is being widely applied on large scale. Flat slabs are thin solid
reinforced concrete slabs which are supported directly by columns
without beams. Flat slab system is now well adopted for
constructions of high rise multi- storied commercial, residential,
institutional buildings. They have adventitious constructive,
architectural and economical features including easier formwork,
speed of construction, spaciousness, etc. The purpose of this
project is to study the seismic behavior of Flat Slab Structure for
different seismic zones by assessment of Response Reduction
Factor using Pushover analysis. Response reduction factor is the
factor by which intensity of seismic waves produced during
earthquake (maximum elastic base shear) can be reduced to
calculate the design base shear. In the project parameters such as
base shear, shear and bending stresses and deflection check in flat
slab structure are examined by using ETABS Software.
