Abstract-Seismic analysisofstructural systemshas
been a necessary in the recent past. The structural systems
that are adopted world over, beam less slab type of
construction is popular and getting into the veins of the
builders due to the cost effective construction with respect
to clearer distance, lesser utility usage and lesser height of
the system for a given occupancy. However, the absence of
the beams, in the system makes it vulnerable to lateral
forces; both wind and seismic, but seismic forces byvariable
nature increases the vulnerability of the system.
In the current study, models were prepared forG+5
and G+10 with varying lateral stiffness; from flexible
(columns) to stiffer (with shear walls). The lateral stiffness
was provided in terms of columns only (flexible) and
columns in combination with shear walls (stiffer). Shear
walls and edge beams were provided at the periphery. The
effect of the providing panel drop and perimeter beamalong
with slab was also studied. The models were subjected to
both seismic and dynamic loads. The structural responses
like natural periods, base shear, displacement and inter
storey drifts were also studied and located in seismic zone V
in accordance with IS 1893-2002. From the seismic
performance results shows that flat slab structures
strengthened by providing edge beams and shear walls.
Key Words: Flat slab, Flat plate, Shear wall, Edge beam.
1. INTRODUCTION
India has second highest population in the world,
day by day availability of land will decreased because India
is developing country, for using of remainingland efficiently,
so some companies constructing high risebuildings.Manyof
countries for constructing buildings using steel structures
but in our country steel structures rarely using duetolack of
knowledge and economical reason. So concrete is widely
using in construction field. For this reasonmanyof scientists
doing research on the concrete. Behavior of concrete,
earthquake effect and design of earthquake resistance for
different zones and different soil condition these are
parameter commonly consider for construction activity.
Earthquake is one of the natural phenomena it may
happen due to naturally or human activity, what it may be it
required safety of buildings to resist seismic loads. For
analysis of structure, considering the zones, soil condition
and other data will available in IS 1893-2000 code book.
Flat slab can be defined as theslabisdirectlyresting
on supports without providing beams. In earlier way of
construction slab-beam-column system is commonly used.
Now a day for flat slab construction widely using for large
span, heavy loads, aesthetical appearance and economical
purpose. Like commercial complex, big offices multilevel car
parking and underground metro station. The economical
purpose story height will reduced duetotheabsenceofdeep
beams. The absence of deep will save the concrete, utilities
can be easily fixed into building.
Flat slab structures having manyofadvantagesover
earlier slab-beam-column structure likefreedesignofspace,
reduce construction time, architectural and economical
consideration. This type of construction commonlyadopted.
Flat slab is more flexible to resisting lateral loads over
traditional R.C frame system.
2. OBJECTIVES
The main objective of the work is
1. To perform linear staticandlineardynamicanalysis
of flat plate and flat slab structures using Response
Spectrum method.
2. Response evaluation of 3D Systems with & without
Edge Beams, with & without shearwall atperiphery
under dynamic loading.
3. Seismic performance by studying Time Period,
Story displacement, Story drift and Base shear by
considering 5storey & 10story with zone V and soil
type II.
3. METHOD OF ANALYSIS
3.1 Equivalent lateral force method
In this method, design of base shear can be computed
along the height of building, simple formulas using to
analyze base shear according to IS 1893(part-I); 2002.
i. Design of lateral force or design of base shear can
be determined by
(Clause 7.5, IS 1893(Part-I):2002)

4. MODELLING AND ANALYISIS
Flat Slabs are commonly used in structures for
architectural and functional reasons. The structural
contributions are neglect in the design process. Behavior of
building in the recent earthquake and clearly illustrate that
the presence of Shear walls and Edge Beams has significant
structural implications. The difficulties in considering Flat
Slabs in the design processes are due to the lack of
experimental and analytical results about their behavior
under lateral loads. The structural contribution of masonry
infill walls didn’t be neglect in particularly regions of
moderate and high seismicity where interactionoftheframe
infill may causes the increase the both stiffness and strength
of the frame. Generally, the type of bricks varies from one
place to another place; in turn this affects the physical
properties of the masonry infill like modulus of masonry.

6. CONCLUSIONS
 Flat slab system having more displacementthanthe
other type systems. In 5 storey and 10 storey
structures have more displacements.

 If the natural time period reduces the stiffness of
building will increases dueto presenceofshear wall
and edge beams.
 If number of stories increases with natural time
period and story drift also increases
 If mass and stiffness of building increase with base
shear also increases, Base shear in flat slab with
shear wall will more compare to other system
 Providing shear wall will be reduce the story drift
and displacement of building, high rise structures
need shear wall at periphery becausemosteffective
location is corner of building.
 Providing shear wall at proper location will resist
lateral force coming from earthquake
 Drift is more in flat plate and flat slab and less in
with shear wall and edge beam
 Providing edge beams will gives less displacement
and drift
 Providing edge beams and shear wall will
strengthened the structures.
