 ABSTRACT :-
Earthquake plays an influential role in analysis and designing of structures. Analysis is the process of
determining the behavior of structure under specified load combinations. Design is the process of
finding appropriate specifications for the structure. Manual analysis and design of structure would
consume a lot of time. By using software, analysis and design of any structure can be done quickly.
The principle purpose of this work is to analyze and design a commercial building with different slab
arrangements, i.e., Conventional slab, Flat slab with drop panels, Grid/ Waffle slab.
The effect of seismic and wind forces on buildings with different slab arrangements have been
analyzed by utilizing ETABS software. ETABS is an engineering software product which is utilized
for analysis and design of structures. Analysis and design are done as per IS 456-2000 code book.
 ABSTRACT :-
There are several concerns which affect the performance of structure from which storey drift, base
shear and storey displacement play a crucial role in finding the behavior of structure against the wind
and seismic loads. Results are conveyed in form of tables, bar charts. Storey displacement increased
with storey height. The result shows that building with grid slab is stable and economical, contrasting
to all other slab arrangements used in the building analysis against wind and seismic loads.

Key words: Earthquake loads, Wind loads, Storey drift, Storey displacement, Base shear, ETABS,
Slab Arrangements
 INTRODUCTION :-
Urban areas due to the scarcity of space vertical construction have developed such as low-rise,
medium - rise and high rise buildings. These types of buildings utilize frame structures as
Conventional RC frame structure and Flat slab frame structure. Conventional RC frame structure
possesses Conventional slab used for the construction that accomplishes a system where a slab is
supported by beam and beam supported by column. This may be called as Beam –Slab Load Transfer
method, a technique that is common practice all over the world. The other form of frame structure
called Flat Slab, where slab directly rests on the column. This is also called as Beamless Slab as there
would be no beams in this frame structure. In multistory shopping malls, offices, warehouses, public
community halls the esthetic view is improved by using Flat Slab in place of the conventional slab.
The usage of Flat slab for residential buildings is also in practice provided span not more than 6m.
 INTRODUCTION :-
Both conventional and flat slab frame systems are subjected to vertical as well as lateral loads.
Lateral loads have an effect on buildings such as the height of the building increases, the effect of
lateral load increases. The effect of Lateral loads is much stronger than vertical loads. These Lateral
loads include Wind loads and Seismic loads. The Lateral forces tend to sway the building frame. As
such building frame tends to act as a cantilever. Many seismic prone areas, the buildings are prone to
collapse if construction is not abode by proper measures. All these studies make to study the effect of
earthquake loads as important. A different earthquake occurs with different intensities, magnitudes at
different places. It is quite essential, to study various seismic aspects such as story displacement, base
shear etc. Seismic Analysis is, therefore, necessary to study the seismic response of building, the
design of building without seismic analysis is not preferred especially in earthquake-prone zones.

Content • The principle purpose of this work is to analyse and design a commercial
building with different slab arrangements, i.e., Conventional slab, Flat slab with
drop panels, Grid/ Waffle slab, and building with load bearing wall. A
commercial building is one in which at least 50 percent of its floor space is used
for commercial activities. The effect of seismic and wind forces on buildings
with different slab arrangements have been analysed by utilizing ETABS
software. ETABS is an engineering software product which is utilized for
analysis and design of structures.
 • design of structures. Analysis and design are done as per IS 456-2000 code
book. M30 grade of concrete and Fe-500 steel is adopted. Load combinations
are taken as per IS: 875-part 5 (2015) code book. Live loads are taken as per
IS 875-part 1. Wind speed of 55 m/s and earthquake zone 5 is adopted for
analysis. Load combinations of 1.2(DL + LL + EQ) and 1.5(DL + LL + WL)
are considered.

Conclusion • Storey displacement is maximum for Conventional slab and minimum for
Load bearing wall type & increases with increase in storey height.
• Storey displacement for conventional slab is 92.6% more than the load bearing
wall.
• Storey drift is maximum for conventional slab and minimum for Load bearing
wall type. It is maximum at fourth storey of building
• Base shear is minimum for Flat slab and maximum for Load bearing wall type
in both the load combinations.
• Base shear for Load bearing wall type is 44.5% more than the flat
slab type.

Authors • Latha M.S, Pratibha K

Content • Grid slab consists of ribs spaced at regular interval in perpendicular directions
which are monolithic with slab. These grid slabs are generally used for
architectural purpose for large spans such as public assembly halls, show rooms,
auditoriums, were to avoid internal columns in the structure. The square voided
pattern is used in present study. In the present study 12 stories structure of
symmetric and asymmetric for
 • regular, plan irregular and vertical irregular structure for both conventional
slab and grid slab is considered.
• conventional and grid slab structure as per IS code 1893:2002(Part 1). And
compared the results of conventional slab and grid slab for parameters of
deflection, storey shear, displacement and storey stiffness.

Conclusion • Deflection of slab of regular structure is maximum in conventional. And in

irregular structures grid slab is having maximum deflection.
• Story displacement is maximum in grid slab system and least in conventional
slab for both regular & irregular structure.
• Story shear is maximum in conventional slab system and least in grid slab
system for both regular & irregular structure.
• Finally concluded that, grid slab is better than conventional slab because grid
slab is more economic than conventional slab.

Title of • SEISMIC ANALYSIS OF MULTI STOREY BUILDING WITH FLAT SLAB
paper RESTING ON PLAIN AND SLOPING GROUND

Authors • P. Manjunath and Yogeendra R. Holebsgilu

Content • The buildings are present in sloping ground are very different from those in
plain ground, in sloping ground the buildings are very irregular and
unsymmetrical in horizontal and vertical planes. The buildings in sloping
ground causes more damage during earthquake, because in sloping ground the
structure is constructed with different column heights. In this study 3D
analytical model of 10 storied building, the plan of each configuration includes
4 bays in Y direction and 6 bays in X direction which is kept same for all
configurations of building frame, the slope chosen in between 0 to 30 degree.
 • The building is located on seismic zone V, with different soil type; the models
are analyzed and designed by ETABS 2015 software. Seismic analysis done
by linear dynamic analysis (RSA).

Conclusion • As the slope of the base increases it results in decrease in seismic weight.
• Base shear will be very less in sloping ground compared to that on level
ground.
• Storey drift is more in on the plain ground compared to that on the sloping
ground this is due to increase in fixity and reduces in number of stories.
• Effect of soil is more important on the earthquake performance of structure.
• The study also posses that in static linear method and response spectrum
analysis the performance of the building on sloping ground has more danger
to earthquake than that of building present in plain ground.

Title of • COMPARATIVE STUDY OF SEISMIC BEHAVIOUR OF MULTI - STOREY
paper BUILDINGS WITH FLAT SLAB, WAFFLE SLAB, RIBBED SLAB &SLAB
WITH SECONDARY BEAM

Authors • Shivnarayan Malviya and Mr.Vipin Kumar Tiwari

Content • Recent earthquakes in which many concrete structures have been severely
damaged or collapsed, have indicated the need for evaluating the seismic
adequacy of existing buildings. In order to strengthen and resist the buildings
for future earthquakes, some procedures have to be adopted. The use of
different type of slabs is evolving as a new trend and is becoming a big
challenge for structural engineers. Therefore, it is necessary to study about its
structural behaviour.
 • This paper deals with the behaviour of different type of slabs such as flat slab,
waffle slab, ribbed slab and slab with secondary beam. We have modelled a
G+5 & G+9 storey building in ETAB software having a plinth area of 1600
m2 . The response spectrum analysis has been carried out for the seismic zone
III. It has been found that for large span slabs the structure having secondary
beams should be avoided for better seismic performance.

Conclusion • Building having secondary beams structure shows highest value of maximum
storey displacement.
• The lowest value of storey Building having waffle slab with respect to others
cases of models.
• Most preferable long span slab on the basis of this study is Building with
Waffle Slab.

Title of • USE OF FLAT SLABS IN MULTISTOREY COMMERCIAL BUILDING
paper SITUATED IN HIGH SEISMIC ZONE

Authors • Navyashree K, Sahana T.S

Content • The scarcity of space in urban areas has led to the development of vertical
growth consisting of low-rise, medium-rise and tall buildings. Generally framed
structures are used for these buildings. They are subjected to both vertical and
lateral loads. Lateral loads due to wind and earthquake governs the design rather
than the vertical loads. The buildings designed for vertical load may not have
the capacity to resist the lateral loads.
 • Pure rigid frame system or frame action obtained by the interaction of slabs,
beam and column is not adequate. The frame alone fails to provide the
required lateral stiffness for buildings taller than 15 to 20 (50m to 60m)
stories.

Conclusion • The moment is maximum at plinth, first and second level. After second level
moments decreases and increases at the top storey.
• The column behavior changes as height of the building increases.
• The columns have been designed for the combination of dead load and
earthquake load for all cases and the load combination 1.5[DL±EX] is the
most critical.
• The column moments are more in flat plate compared to conventional R.C.C
building.
• Base shear of flat plate building is less than the conventional R.C.C building.
The difference between the two varies from 8- 13(%).
• The earthquake forces is more predominant than others loads.
