Non Linear Seismic Behavior of RCC Low Rise Flat Slab Building

Abstract

The Building behaves nonlinearly as a result of both man-made and natural risks. Flat slab construction has several advantages over traditional RC frame construction. This work examines the progressive collapse analysis of a flat slab structure using a non-linear static analysis approach known as pushover analysis. In this sort of study, a computer model of a structure is exposed to a preset lateral load pattern. The modeling of a structure is done by software named ETABS, and pushover analysis is done. By doing this pushover analysis, we can identify the weak points in the structure and decide whether the specific portion of the building should be retrofitted or changed to satisfy the requirements. Pushover analysis is conducted in both positive and negative x and y directions. For each member, default hinge parameters based on the FEMA-356 and Applied Technology Council (ATC-40) criteria are applied.
