The Effects of the Type of Slab on Structural System in the Multi-Storey Reinforced Concrete Buildings

Abstract eng:
It becomes so important to know the behaviour of reinforced concrete, determine all possible earthquake loading effects on reinforced concrete buildings correctly and design the structural system so as to resist seismic effects. Correct determination of seismic load effects on the structural system is important not only in multi-storey buildings but also in general residential buildings. In this study, the effects of slab types on the behaviour of load carrying systems are analysed on multi-storey reinforced concrete buildings under seismic loads according to the rules and regulations of the current Turkish Earthquake Code (TEC). Slab openings in floor systems may cause irregularities in the horizontal plane according to the earthquake code. Analysis of the case in which the slab openings are formed very close to the vertical load carrying elements is also included in this study. The results obtained from all the analyses carried out and all the works done in this study are explained and summarized with diagrams.
