Abstract
Description
A building's reinforced concrete two-way ribbed slab is a crucial structural component. International building standards like ACI 318-14, BS 8110-97, Eurocode 2, and CSA - A23.3-04 may be utilised to design a slab that is both safe and cost-effective. The research covered here is a comparative analysis of several codes with the goal of identifying the best cost-effective or optimum code. The programmes "ETABS 2018" and "CSi Detail 18" are utilised for this purpose. Comparisons are made across four criteria: deflection, concrete volume, steel reinforcement weight, and cost. Concrete volume and steel reinforcement weight are calculated with the help of the software's dedicated quantity surveying capability. Soon after planning and contrasting. It was discovered that the EU code results in the highest total cost because it requires the most steel reinforcement and yields the least deflection, while the BS code results in the lowest total cost because it yields the least steel reinforcement and yields the least deflection.
