- Abstract
Commonly, building structures consist of structural elements such as beams, columns and slabs. Reinforced concrete slabs in the building industry can be used as wall panels roof slabs and floor slabs. A slab is subjected to the horizontal component of an earthquake excitation when it is used as a wall panel and to the vertical component, when it is used as a roof or floor slab. When the structural analysis is conducted for this kind of building structures, an analytical model which disregards the flexural stiffness of the floor slabs and considers the floor slab as rigid diaphragm is taken for simplification and efficiency of the structural analysis. Therefore, in the present work, an analytical parametric study is done on high-rise structures with simple and plate frame structures. An efficient method is also proposed to analyze the effect of floor slabs on multistorey buildings. The objective of the present study is to evaluate how a structure behaves when the reinforced concrete slab is included in the structural analysis.
