A Comparative study Among Conventional Slab , Flat Slab And Grid Slab Using Etabs

Abstract

The comparative study aims to evaluate and compare the structural behavior and performance of conventional slab, flat slab and grid slab systems using ETABS software. The study includes the analysis of different design parameters such as cost, construction time, flexibility, floor-to-floor height, and maintenance. The analysis of the results showed that conventional slab systems are generally the most cost-effective and quickest to construct, while grid slab systems offer the most flexibility in design. Flat slab systems provide the lowest floor-to-floor height, and conventional slab systems are generally the easiest to maintain. The study provides valuable insights into the advantages and disadvantages of each system, which can aid in the selection of the most appropriate slab system for a particular project. Furthermore, the use of ETABS software provides an accurate and efficient method of analyzing and comparing different slab systems
