Comparative Study on RC Frame, Flat Slab Frame, Flat Plate Frame and Prestressed Slab Frame in Seismic Region

Multistorey commercial buildings are primarily responsible for demand of business activities and city centre as possible, therefore, putting intense pressure on the available land space. Hence, it is necessary to analyze the different types of multistorey building frame such as RC building frame, Flat plate building frame, Flat slab building frame and prestressed slab building frame. The above building models are analyzed by response spectrum method using SAP 2000 software by considering zone IV and medium type soil. The parametric study was carried out by considering time period, base shear, top displacement and storey acceleration. From the analysis, it is found that the time period and top displacement are more in flat plate building, compared to other models. The base shear is reduced in flat plate building compared to other models. The storey acceleration is maximum in normal RC frame building and minimum in flat plate building compared to other model.
