ASSESSMENT OF LARGE SPAN MULTISTORY BUILDING USING VARIOUS SLAB UNDER EARTHQUAKE RESPONSE

Abstract

With the growing need for multistory buildings in a variety of industries, the need for novel structural solutions
has become critical. This research looks at the structural behaviour of wide span structures, with an emphasis on
the use of various slab forms to meet the problems provided by growing architectural trends. The study undertakes
a detailed literature analysis, looking into the use of Grid Slabs, Flat Slabs, Waffle Slabs, and Ribbed Slabs
alongside regular slabs to improve stiffness and load-carrying capability in large-span buildings.
