Performance Evaluation of Ribbed Slab and Waffle Slab Systems Under Lateral Loading using ETABS

Floor and roof systems are essential in construction, primarily supporting gravity loads and transferring them to columns and walls. They also play a crucial role in distributing wind and seismic forces to vertical elements of the lateral load resisting system. Typically, slabs are not considered in structural analysis for lateral load resistance due to their complex behavior. However, during seismic events, slabs can significantly enhance lateral load resistance due to their in plane stiffness.
