Design of A Commercial Building (G+7) With Flat Slab Using Dynamic Analysis In Sap2000

Abstract

With the increase in population and development of civilization, the demand for HOUSING is increasing at a peak rate. Especially in towns due to rapid industrialization, the demand is very high. Adapting the construction of Multi-storied Building not only matches with demand but also decreases the price of the single house. Hence an Engineer to be knowledgeable about the planning and designing of such Multi-storied Buildings. Advancements of computer packages have given many tools to the designer towards achieving the best and accuracy in their work. Flat-slab building structures possesses major advantages over traditional slab-beam-column structures because of the free design of space, shorter construction time, architectural –functional and economical aspects. Because of the absence of deep beams and shear walls, flat-slab structural system is significantly more flexible for lateral loads then traditional RC frame system and that make the system more vulnerable under seismic events. Modifications with additional construction elements improve small bearing capacity of the system and increase strength and stiffness, improving seismic behaviour of flat-slab construction system. The aim of our project is to design a G+7 building with flat slabs instead of conventional slab. Analysis & Design of the building with flat slab is done by using SAP2000 software.
