Seismic performance of reinforced concrete building with flat slab

Effects of Slab Types on the Seismic Behavior and Construction Cost of RC Buildings

“…Yet, both of these slab types have disadvantages when employed in seismic areas since they exhibit low rigidity and ductility [18]. Similarly, flat slabs also provide less rigidity, resulting in higher periods of vibration [14,19,20]. A flat slab, however, possesses many advantages over a twoway slab with beams due to their shorter construction time, architectural advantages, and economic benefits [21][22][23].…”

Earthquake behavior of flat slab structures, particularities and opportunities for use in the building stock of the Chisinau municipality

“…The structural calculation for these 2 buildings was carried out in the calculation program LIRASAPR2016. The flat slab structure systems are significantly more flexible than traditional frame structures, thus becoming more vulnerable to seismic loading conditions [5] (Figure 4). In U.S.A, C.A.P.…”
