Comparative Study of Flat Slab and Conventional Slab Structure Based on Seismic Behaviour and Cost Effectiveness
Abstract: Flat slab recent earthquakes in which many concrete structures have been severely damaged or collapsed, have indicated the need for evaluating the seismic adequacy of buildings. About 60% of the land area of our country is susceptible to damaging levels of seismic hazard. We can’t avoid future earthquakes, but safe building construction practices can certainly reduce the extent of damage and loss. As being one of the special reinforced concrete …
