    The document discusses flat slab construction, which involves concrete slabs supported directly by columns without beams. Key benefits are flexibility in room layout, reduced building height and construction time, and ease of installing mechanical and electrical systems. While flat slabs provide benefits, they lack lateral stability compared to beam-supported slabs. Multiple perimeter beams can be added to increase stability and reduce slab deflection. The equivalent frame method is commonly used for design, which involves dividing panels into column and middle strips and apportioning moments between the two. The Burj Khalifa and other tall buildings examples use flat slab construction.

    Flat Slab
    What is a flat slab?

    A reinforced concrete slab supported directly by concrete


    columns without the use of beams

    BENEFITS
    Flexibility

    in room layout
    Saving in building height
    Shorter construction time
    Ease of installation of M & E services

    LATERAL STABILITY
    Buildings

    with flat plate design is generally

    less rigid
    Frame action is normally insufficient to resist
    lateral loads in high rise buildings.
    Multiple function perimeter beams
    Adds lateral rigidity
    Reduce slab deflection

    DESIGN METHODOLOGY
    EQUIVALENT FRAME METHOD
    Most commonly used method
    DIVISION OF PANELS
    The panels are divided into column strips and middle strips in
    both direction.

    Moment Division
    Apportionment between column and middle
    strip expressed as %of the total negative
    design moment.
