Comparative Analysis of Flat Slabs with & Without Shear Wall under Seismic Effects- A Literature Review

In recent times, Flat slab buildings are generally used for the construction because use of flat slab building provides many advantages above conventional RC Frame building in terms of economy, make use of space, easier formwork, architectural flexibility and mostly shorter construction time. The structural effectiveness of the Flat slab construction is mainly difficult by its meager performance under earthquake loading. It is essential to analyze seismic behavior of buildings to observe what are the changes are going to arise for the conventional RC frame building, flat slab building with and without shear wall respectively. The analysis is done with STAAD .PRO V8i software. The characteristics seismic behavior of conventional RC frame building, flat slab buildings imply that supplementary measures for guiding the formation and design of these structures in seismic regions are desirable and to increase the performance of building having conventional RC building, flat slabs under seismic loading. The object of the present study covers the behavior of multi-storey buildings having conventional RC slab building, flat slabs and to study the performance of these types of buildings under seismic forces. Current study covers information on the parameters storey drift, lateral displacement, seismic base shear, storey shear.
