Can Any provide guidance on designing a 14-story building in Etabs using flat slabs with a thickness of 30 cm? What checks are necessary for flat plate slab buildings? Also, how can I check the punching shear of slabs at column locations? If you have a reference file, please share it with me. -
Hello, One question regarding Collector elements. The code specifies that we need collector elements to transmit the lateral loads from the diaphragm to shear walls or vertical elements.True, but there are cases where we have a flat slab or due to architectural limitations cannot provide beams or collectors in that region. How are lateral forces transmitted in such cases. Where there are no collector elements the lateral forces are not transmitted to vertical elements effectively. Or we have another solution apart from Collectors to transmit the lateral forces from diaphragm to vertical elements. Thanks.
