Push Over Analysis Of Flat Slab Structure With Lateral Resistant System

The pushover analysis of flat slab structures with and without lateral load-resisting systems demonstrated that the inclusion of lateral resistance significantly improves seismic performance. The structure with lateral resistance exhibited lower story displacement and story drift in both X and Y directions, indicating enhanced stiffness, reduced lateral deformation, and improved structural stability under seismic loading. Additionally, higher base shear values were observed in structures with lateral resistance, reflecting greater strength and improved capacity to resist earthquake forces. Overall, the study concludes that the incorporation of lateral load-resisting systems such as shear walls and perimeter beams effectively enhances the seismic behavior, safety, and resilience of flat slab structures.
