Abstract
In the present paper, comparative study of flat slab-column connection techniques for lateral loading has been made for a symmetrical plan of a ten-storey building. The modelling has been done for a flat plate directly resting on columns. Since there are issues in modelling of flat slab, out of which, one of the most important issues taken in this paper is the effect of torsion transfer in the slab-column connections. The study has been done using three different torsional stiffnesses of slab-column connection, and their performance assessment has been done for a moderate seismic zone. From linear analysis, change in fundamental period of vibration has been studied. Further, the performance of these building models has been assessed using non-linear static analysis. The present study finds the results of ‘Unified Equivalent Frame Model’ (UEFM) to be the most reliable because of the inclusion of the effect of both gravity and lateral loads in the calculation of torsional stiffness of the slab-column connections.
