Commercial Buildings with Flat Slab using ETABS Software.

ABSTRACT:-
With the increase in population and development of civilization the need to industrialization and
construction of buildings has been rising rapidly. Especially increase in Hospitals, Auditoriums &
commercial buildings demand is very high. Flat slabs are mainly used in commercial buildings, in this
system of construction the slab directly rests on the column and load from the slab is directly transferred
to the columns and then to the foundation. Adopting construction of Multi-storied building with Flat
Slabs not only matches demand but also decrease the construction time, cost and increasing building
usage space. The Flat slabs has got place in providing feature like more stiffness, higher capacity, safe
and economical also.

In this work, the analysis is done for seismic analysis to compare conventional & l-shape
commercial buildings with flat slab for maximum storey displacement and maximum storey drift,
applicable in zones IV without any failure. The analysis and design of G-6 commercial buildings is
designed by using ETABS software.

Keywords:-ETABS, G+6 Storey, Commercial Building, Flat Slab, Dead load, Live load, Earthquake

CHAPTER-1

INTRODUCTION:-
There has been an increasing demand for construction of tall buildings due to an ever-increasing
urbanization and increase in population. Earthquake and wind load is the bane of such tall structures. As
the earthquake forces are hazardous in nature, we need to accurate engineering tools for analyzing
structures under the action of these forces. Thus, a careful modeling of such earthquake and wind loads
needs to be done, so as to evaluate the behaviour of the structure with a clear perspective of the damage
that is expected. To analyze the structure for various earthquake and wind intensities and then perform
checks for various criteria at each level has become an essential practice for the last couple of decades.

Earthquake causes different shaking intensities at different locations and the damage induced in
buildings at these locations is also different. Thus, it is necessary to construct a structure which is
earthquake resistant at a particular level of intensity of shaking and assimilate the effect of earthquake.
Even though same magnitudes of earthquakes are occurring due to its varying intensity, it results into
dissimilar damaging effects in different regions. Hence, it is necessary to study seismic behaviour of
multi-storeyed RC framed building for different seismic intensities in terms of various responses such as
lateral displacements, story drift and base shear. Hence the seismic behaviour of buildings having
similar layout needs to be understood under different intensities of wind and earthquake. For
determination of seismic responses, it is necessary to carry out seismic analysis of the structure using
different available methods.

The principle objective of this project is to analyze and compare conventional & l-shape
commercial buildings with flat slab using ETABS, to get the optimum design. The design involves load
calculations and analyzing the whole structures by ETABS. The design methods used in ETABS
analysis are Limit State Design conforming to Indian Standard Code of Practice. ETABS features have
state-of-the-art user interface, visualization tools, powerful analysis and design engines with advanced
finite element and dynamic analysis capabilities. From model generation, analysis and design to
visualization and result verification, ETABS is the professional’s choice. ETABS has a very interactive
user interface which allows the users to draw the frame and input the load values and dimensions. Then

according to the specified criteria assigned it analyses the structure and designs the members with
reinforcement details for RCC frames.

FLAT SLAB:-
Flat Slab is better understood as the slab without beams resting directly on supports (like
columns & or walls).By virtue of that, large Bending Moment & Shear Forces are developed close to the
columns. Flat slabs system of construction is one in which the beams used in the conventional methods
of constructions are done away with. The slab directly rests on the column and load from the slab is
directly transferred to the columns and then to the foundation. To support heavy loads the thickness of
slab near the support with the column is increased and these are called drops, or columns are generally
provided with enlarged heads called column heads or capitals. Absence of beam gives a plain ceiling,
thus giving better architectural appearance and also less vulnerability in case of fire than in usual cases
where beams are used. Plain ceiling diffuses light better, easier to construct and requires cheaper form
work. As per local conditions and availability of materials different countries have adopted different
methods for design of flat slabs and given their guidelines in their respective codes.

A flat slab is a two-way reinforced concrete slab that usually does not have beams and girders,
and the loads are transferred directly to the supporting concrete columns. They are subjected to both
vertical and lateral loads. Lateral loads due to wind and earthquake governs the design rather than the
vertical loads. The buildings designed for vertical load may not have the capacity to resist the lateral
loads. The lateral loads are the premier ones because in contrast to vertical load that may be assumed to
increase linearly with height; lateral loads are quite variable and increase rapidly with height. Under a
uniform wind and earthquake loads the overturning moment at the base is very large and varies in
proportion to the square of the height of the building. The lateral loads are considerably higher in the top
storey rather than the bottom storey due to which building tends to act as cantilever. These lateral forces
tend to sway the frame. In many of the seismic prone areas there are several instances of failure of
buildings which have not been designed for earthquake loads. All these reaction makes the study of the
effect of lateral loads very important. In general normal frame construction utilizes columns, slabs &
beams. However it may be possible to undertake construction without providing beams, in such a case
the frame system would consist of slab and column without beams. These types of slabs are called flat
slab, since their behavior resembles the bending of flat plates.

ADVANTAGES OF FLAT SLAB:-

The following are the key advantages of Flat slab:-
 Flexibility in room layout:-
 Partition walls can be placed anywhere.
 Offers a variety of room layout to the owner.
 False (Drop) ceilings can be omitted.
 Reinforcement placement is easier:-
As reinforcement detailing of flat slab is simple, it is easier to place.
 Ease of Framework installation.
Big table framework can be used in flat slab.
 Building height can be reduced:-
 As no beam is used, floor height can be reduced and consequently the building height will be
reduced.
 Approximately 10% of the vertical member could be saved
 Foundation load will also reduce.
 Less construction time:-
Use of big table framework helps to reduce construction time.
 Auto sprinkler is easier.

CHAPTER-2

LITERATURE SURVEY:-
B.ANJANEYULU , K JAYA PRAKASH (February 2016):-The work includes the design and
estimate for flat slabs of various spans, ranging from 6.0 m to 12.0 m, by reinforced concrete and
prestressed concrete techniques. This study includes the performance of flat slab and conventional slab
structure subjected to various loads and conditions and to the study the behavior of both structure for the
parameters like storey shear, storey displacement drift ratio, axial forces. The results for this work were,
Flat slab can be designed and built either by conventional reinforced concrete or by post-tensioning.
However, due to issues with post- tensioning construction in India and its higher cost, conventional
reinforced concrete design should be the preferred choice for spans up to 10 meters.

SUMIT SHARMA, ASHISH YADAV, MUKESH DUBEY (February 2018):- In construction

projects, flat slabs are often used, chiefly in public buildings. Due to several advantages of flat slab
systems over traditional slab systems, flat slabs are often used in construction. A slab is best realized as
a slab without beams, which directly rests on the support due to the bending moment and shear stress
generated near the column. The intention of this article is to introduce the advantages and disadvantages
of flat slab in construction.

KHWAJA MOINUDDIN KHAN, M. JEELANI (May 2018):- The advantages of flat slabs provide
features such as increased rigidity, increased load bearing capacity, safety, and at the same time
economy. In the work, seismic analysis was carried out to verify that commercial buildings with slabs
are suitable for different areas without any failure. The authors analyzed and design G-2 and G+7
commercial buildings with flat slabs in the ETABS program. The results of the work were, there was
gradual increase in the values of lateral forces from bottom floor to top floor. The maximum story
displacement, maximum storey drift and the storey shear were increased as the seismic zone goes from
II to IV.

PRIYA M P, SANTHI A S (March 2018):- This article introduces the experimental study of the
puncture behavior of the flat slab under various supporting conditions. For testing, six slab column
samples with four, three, and two rigid support side flat plates were casted and tested. These tests are
conducted to study the penetration ability and crack mode at the connection between the plate and the
column. It has been observed that compared to three and two supporting sides, the slab columns
connected and supported on the four sides of the plate have improved punching shear resistance.

LALIT BALHAR, DR. J.N.VYAS (February 2019):- The seismic characteristics of traditional
reinforced concrete frame buildings and slab buildings mean that additional measures need to be taken
to guide the origination and design of these structures in earthquake areas and improve the construction
efficiency of traditional reinforced concrete buildings. The purpose of this research is to study the ways
of multi storey buildings with traditional RC slab buildings and slabs, and to study the behavior of such
buildings under the influence of earthquake forces. The current research includes information on
parameters such as displacement, lateral displacement, subsoil seismic shear and storey shear using
Etabs software for analysis.

HEMALATHA K.R, ASHWINI B.T, CHETHAN V.R (September 2021):- The aim of the project is
analysis of flat slab with drop panel using Etabs software. The design of flat slab was carried out as per
IS 456:2000. The analysis and design were carried out by equivalent frame method with staggered
column and without staggered column as mention in the IS code 456:2000. The authors got the result
that flat slab with drop is developing construction in India even in the seismic prone areas for better
stability and life span of the building. Compared to the conventional concrete, flat slab has a very good
storey drift and it is lies within the permissible limit. Hence the design construction will be safe. Flat
slab with drops is used to avoid the beams by this the authors can say that it is economical way of
construction. The initial cost of the flat slab is high and also results shows that the ductility of building
and stiffness of the building is within the codal provision.

Important Terminology:
Maximum Storey displacement: It is total displacement of the storey with respect to ground
and there is maximum permissible limit prescribed in IS codes for buildings.

Maximum Storey drift: Storey drift is the drift of one level of a multi-storey building relative to
the level below. Inter story drift is the difference between the roof and floor displacements of any
given story as the building sways during the earthquake, normalized by the story height.

 Analysis, Design & Comparison of a Conventional & L-Shape
Commercial Buildings with Flat Slab using ETABS Software.

 The maximum storey displacement for conventional building increases with increase in storey.
 The Conventional building has higher storey displacement for Dead load, Live load, Earthquake load
in X-direction and Earthquake load in Y-direction.
 Whereas, the L-Shape building has higher storey displacement for Wind load in X-direction and
Wind load in Y-direction.
 Similarly, the Conventional building has higher storey drift for Dead load, Live load, Earthquake load
in X-direction and Earthquake load in Y-direction.
 Whereas, the L-Shape building has higher storey drift for Wind load in X-direction and Wind load in
Y-direction.
 This indicates that L-Shape building has higher resistance against Dead load, Live load and
Earthquake load in both X and Y directions.
 Whereas, the Conventional building has higher resistance against Wind load in both X and Y
directions.

 Analysis, Design & Comparison of a Conventional & L-Shape
Commercial Buildings with Flat Slab using ETABS Software.

CONCLUSIONS:-
Form the data revealed by the software analysis for the structure using various load combinations tried
following conclusions are drawn:
 Flat slab with drop construction is developing in India and can be implemented for apartment
buildings even in the seismic prone areas for better stability and life span of buildings.
 And it helps to reduce the floor to floor height due to absence of beams.
 The analysis was done by using ETABS software and successfully verified as per IS: 456-2000.
 There is a gradual increase in the values of lateral forces from bottom floor to top floor in both
the Buildings.
 The maximum story displacement for Dead load, Live load and Earthquake Load is greater in
Conventional Building compared to L-Shape Building.
 Whereas in case of Wind Load, the maximum story displacement for L-Shape Building is greater
than Conventional Building.
 Similarly, the maximum story drift for Dead load, Live load and Earthquake Load is greater in
Conventional Building compared to L-Shape Building.
 Whereas in case of Wind Load, the maximum story drift for L-Shape Building is greater than
Conventional Building.
 Hence we can conclude that L-Shape buildings have higher strength, stability and resistance
compared to that of Conventional Building.
