Abstract
Floor systems composed of two-way slabs without beams are frequently used because they offer several advantages, including relatively simple formwork and a shallow profile that can accommodate shorter story heights. Slab-column frame systems are common in regions of low to moderate seismic risk, where they are allowed as a lateral-force-resisting system (LFRS), as well as in regions of high seismic risk for gravity systems where moment frames or shear walls are provided as the main LFRS. However, past earthquake damage has shown that slab-column frames are not a suitable main LFRS in regions of high seismic risk because of their relative flexibility and potential for brittle punching shear failures in the slab-column connection region.
