This paper focuses on the dynamic behavior of reinforced concrete (RC) slabs. Therefore, the theoretical modal analysis was performed using two different types of boundary conditions. Modal analysis method is the most important dynamic analyses. The analysis would be modal case when there is no external force on the structure. By using this method in this paper, the effects of freely and simply...

Flat slabs are less labour intensive, simplify the installation of services and can accommodate more floors within restricted heights. However, the span influencing their design is the longest and they require more steel compared to two-way slabs. Other drawbacks of flat slabs are vulnerability to punching shear failure and higher deflections. To avoid punching shear failure drop panels, column...
