Reinforced concrete two-way flat slabs are considered one of the most used systems in the construction of commercial buildings due to the ease of construction and suitability for electrical and mechanical paths. Long-term deflection is an essential parameter in controlling the behavior of this slab system, especially with long spans. Therefore, thi...

... these results, a new proposed formula for minimum slab thickness that corresponds to each case study was proposed and provided in Table 3. As shown, these formulas vary from Ln/30 to Ln/19.9 which is a wide range as compared with the single formula provided by ACI code (Ln/30). ...Similar publications
Background
Geoeconomic variations in epidemiology, the practice of ventilation, and outcome in invasively ventilated intensive care unit (ICU) patients without acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) remain unexplored. In this analysis we aim to address these gaps using individual patient data of four large observational studies.

Initially, the flat slab system was widely used in buildings at low risk of wind and earthquakes. However,
nowadays, by using high-strength concrete and steel, the flat slab building system has been widely applied
to high-rise buildings. The structural model that uses the flat slab system is a structural model without
beams, and there is a thickening at the head of the column called drop panels. As a result, all the load on
the floor slab will be distributed directly to the column. In this paper, the building structure with and
without drop panels is modeled using ETABS Nonlinear v.9.7.4 software. This paper aims to determine how
significant the contribution of drop panels, in this case, is the natural period of vibration of the structure.
The analysis of building structures with drop panels and without Drop panels using ETABS Nonlinear
v.9.7.4 software has been obtained. The analysis results show that the drop panel contributes 8.87%, in this
case, the natural period of vibration of the structure.
