A Comparative Study of Flat Slab Vs Post Tensioned Flat Slab

In the present study the regular Block type layout of plan is taken into consideration with two types of slab system i.e. Flat slab and post tensioned slab are compared with each other. Considering zone 2 and zone 3 of seismicity according to Indian codes. Various types of Buildings with G+9, G+11, G+14, G+19 and G+24 storeys are considered with difference in geometrical properties and material properties. From past published journals and papers optimization is done in choosing different variety of placement of shear walls, their corresponding height and thickness were given due consideration with accordance to Indian codes. The method used for analysing the model is Linear Time history analysis considering Locc-North seismic condition using software namely ETABS 2015. And conclusion are drawn from various factors with respect to each structural member behaviour during the action of forces on them and differences have been highlighted.
