Comparative Study on Analysis and Designing of Post-Tensioned Flat Slab Vs Conventional Slab

Abstract

Importance of skyscrapers or high rise buildings in the present scenario is increasing. Building using conventional slabs are diminished due to its inefficiency as per tall structures and long spans. To overcome this many other types of the slab has been considered for the improvement and workability of structures, in which flat slab and post-tensioned slab are very much popular among the construction of tall structures. It will be much more effective to combine post-tensioned slab and flat slab than usual slabs. These types of slabs also have advantages over conventional as they provide an aesthetic view for commercial or residential projects in recent projects such as high-rise structures and long-range frames as they are safe as per design. By doing the comparative analysis and design of post-tensioned flat slab with a conventional slab, we can show how beneficial will be the process of making PT flat slab than other slabs.
