1. INTRODUCTION
In this modern industrial era we can see huge construction
check for punching shear against software. Flat slabs are
more vulnerable to punching shear because of the absence of beam. In direct design method following criteria must be satisfied for design of flat slab. The panel must be square or rectangle Ratio of longer span by shorter span not more than 2 Live load should not be more than 3 times design dead load. In the present work only manual design of flat slab taken and punching shear values of software is compared with manual calculated punching shear.

2. Analysis of Flat and Conventional Slab Building 3.1 Storey Shear of FSB and CSB for SRSSX Load using ETABS Case: The analysis of flat and conventional slab structure has been done by using ETABS software package. Before analysis all the required elements of the structure needs to be defined earlier like material properties, loads, load combinations, size of members, response spectrum etc. once the analysis has been done we can extract the results like displacement, storey shear, bending moment, drift ratio, axial forces for comparing the performance of flat and conventional slab building. The following flow chart shows the steps involved in the analysis by ETABS.

The Storey shear is Maximum at ground level and keeps Design axial forces I the zone II and zone III conventional on decreasing towards the top storey of the structure. slab has got more intensity compared to flat slab structure. From the chart it shows storey shear of flat slab structure There is a difference of 5% in between flat and is more than the conventional slab structure. And also as conventional slab structure in zone II and zone III. the seismicity level increases the storey shear intensity is also increases.

Chart 10: Variations of Axial Force In All Seismic Zones
Axial forces are important in design of foundation
elements, these forces are derived from live load, dead load, wind loads ad earthquake loads. From the above chart intensity of design reaction increses as the seismicity level increases as shown in from zone II to zone. From zone II and zone III conventional slab carryig more axial loads, where from zone IV to zone V flat slab is ahead of conventional slab structure. From zone II to zone V there is an increase of average 35% axial forces in both the structures.
3.3 Storey Displacement of FSB and CSB for SRSSX
Load case Chart 13:Comparisons of FSB And CSBStoreydisplacement Storey displacement is Maximum at top storey and least at the base of structure. This criterion is important when From the above two charts it shows displacement of flat structures are subjected to lateral loads like earthquake slab building is slight more than conventional slab and wind loads. Displacement is depends on height of building in all seismic zones. The differences of storey structure and slenderness of the structure because displacement between these two structures are nearly structures are more vulnerable as height of building 4mm in each storey. increases by becoming more flexible to lateral loads. 3.4 Drift Ratio Comparisons of FSB and CSB
