Flat slab systems in current construction practice are commonly used for relatively light residentialloads and for spans from 4.5m to 6m. Earthquakes have the potential for causing the greatest damages amongst allnatural hazards. Since earthquake forces are random in nature & unpredictable, the engineering tools needs to besharpened for analysing structures under the action of these forces. When subjected to earthquake action, theunbalanced moments can produce high shear stresses in the slab. Hence it is necessary to study the performance of flatslab when subjected to earthquake. The pushover analysis is becoming popular method of predicting seismic force anddeformation demands for the purpose of performance evaluation of existing and new structure. Now a day, according todemand of structure variation in height of ground storey is seen. In this study, 3 flat slab models with different groundstorey height are analysed using design software ETABs (version 9.7.4) by pushover analysis. Results are shown in formof pushover curves, base shear, storey drifts, plastic hinges mechanism of flat slab building. Effect of increase anddecrease in ground storey height is studied.
