COMPARATIVE STUDY OF FLAT SLAB UNDER SEISMIC LOAD ACCORDING TO INDIAN STANDARD AND UNIVERSAL BUILDING CODE

Abstract

In today’s world of modern construction tall structures are taking place to overcome land problem. The use of flat slab is becoming very popular because it increases the construction speed, reduces dead weight. But it has poor performance under lateral load, due to thesis reason flat slab are generally avoided in India for high seismic zone. To improve the performance of structure and to make flat slab stiffer, drops are provided under flat slab. This study is to check performance of flat slab under seismic load situated in high seismic zone according to guideline of IS-1893(part 1):2002 and UBC-97. The results of maximum story displacement are compared for both codes.
