A Comparative Study of Flat Slab, Waffle Slab and Post-tensioned Slab Under the Action of Dynamic Loads

In this modern growing twenty-first century era, we have seen a tremendous increase in construction activities which is taking place in and around and everywhere; hence, there is a demand and obvious shortage of land space for development activity to progress. So, the construction of tall tubular structures has been triggered up time and vertical development to overcome the demand for space over the year. In this paper, a study on the check of stability of the flat slab, post-tensioned slab and waffle slab has been carried out by considering the shear parameters and deflection parameters and their behaviour under the seismic static and dynamic loads. Effects on the lateral displacement, storey shear, storey stiffness, punching shear, short-term and long-term deflection have been studied through the finite element analysis softwares ETABS and SAFE.
