flat slab is a type of floor construction that is frequently used in modern buildings. It can also be referred to as the flat floor, concrete flat floor, concrete flat sheet or flat plate. Basically, it is a floor without a frame in the building. To explain it a bit more, A flat slab construction is where the slabs directly rest on columns, without beams. If there is no drop at the column and slab meeting point, it is called flat plate and if there is a drop, it is a flat slab. Flat plates are possible when the space of the columns is less. If the spans are large, then punching may become critical and a drop may be needed. Flat plates are generally preferred in smaller housing and apartment projects. Flat slabs with drop panels are used for office buildings and shopping complexes and malls in most part of the world. Can we design this type of system in an earthquake zone? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i9u6WrULwGU 1 Share
