Evaluation Of The Behavior Of Flat Slab Systems Subjected To Lateral Loads, Misin Misini, Ylli Pocesta, Zijadin Guri

UBT International Conference

. In this paper behavior of flat slab structures under lateral loads, has been evaluated and analyzed. Flat slab structures show more flexibility and lateral displacement of this type of structures are considerable greater comparing to other systems. Nonlinear behavior in the regions near the slabcolumn connection and the change of stiffness in this region needs to be taken into account during the analysis. Slab-column connection characteristics needs to include the potential for punching failure which rise as a function of gravity shear ratio and the interstory drift ratio. Modeling of this type of structures based on effective slab width, …
