Abstract
In the traditional approach, the slab is supported by a beam with a considerable beam depth and a modest slab thickness. Columns receive the weight that was previously on beams. The flat slab technique places the slab flat against the columns. Wherever a partition wall is required, it may be built thanks to the flat slab. To carry heavy loads, the thickness of the slab close to the column's support is raised; these are referred to as drops, or the heads of the columns are given with an increase in size; these are known as column heads. Since there is no beam in a flat slab, the ceiling is plain, which improves the appearance of the architecture. These days, flat slab buildings are employed because they provide numerous advantages that a typical slab construction does not. This project's goals are to contrast multi-story residential buildings with flat slabs with those with traditional slabs. ETABS software is used for design and analysis. Reasonable information regarding the stability of a flat slab is provided by the current work.
