Further, in practice multi-storey buildings are
analysed by providing rigidity at various floors using

slabs exist at various floor levels which provide
additional rigidity to floors. Therefore, in present
work a comparative study of above mentioned
practice and reality is also made. Observations show
that lateral displacement and storey drift are
significantly reduced by providing part shear walls.

Grid Slab
4.1 ANALYSIS OF FLAT SLAB

The Indian Standard Codes provide the guidelines for

design of flat slabs. These are basically empirical and
are supported by the vast experimentation. But since
the standard experimentation has been done on
standard layouts and configuration of the slabs, these
design procedures are limited in their scope and
applicability. Nowadays, irregular layouts are
becoming common, and it is this light that standard
codal procedures seem inadequate. Methods of
analysis of flat slabs-

4.2 ANALYSIS OF GRID SLAB

For inclosing large area rooms such as theatre hall and
auditoriums, where column free space is the main
requirement, grid floors are used. Grids with diagonal
members are called diagonal grids. Thickness of slab
and edge beam of small grid can be analysed by the
conventional method as in ribbed slab. Large grid
floor which do not follow these restricted layouts are
analysed by other methods. This method can be
divided into three groups: 1. Method based on plate
theory (Approximate Methods) 2. Stiffness matrix
method using computer 3. Equating deflection method
of each intersecting node by simultaneous equation.

6.Conclusion and Future Work

1. Base shear of flat slab building is less than the base
shear in grid slab building in both X and Y-directions.
2. Axial force in end columns of flat slab building is
less as compared to grid slab building.
3. Axial force in intermediate columns of flat slab
building is more as compared to grid slab building.
4. Maximum shear force is ocurs in column of story-3
5. For zone-II and soil type-II building drift in flatslab
building and grid slab building is within limit in both
X and Y-directions.
6. Building drift in grid slab building is less as
compared to flat slab building in each story in both X
and Y-directions.
