Multi-storied building has been incorporated with waffle and flat slab individually in our research on ETABS for structural analysis to explore one such unmatched contrivance substitute could be used in the structures constructed in near future. Flat slabs are routinely being constructed only using the column, omitting the construction of beams, therefore affecting different aspects like the effectiveness, floor to floor height ratio, construction cost and freedom to the engineer whereas Waffle slabs are generally adopted in those structures having a smaller number of columns, wider span of floors, requires more stability, are light weight. We here in this research are analyzing the feasibility of G+3 building with a single column, alternatively applying the flat and waffle slab in place of the conventional one at a time to check the difference in the characteristics of a building like bending moment, end moments, deflection, shear force, etc. The interpretative study between both the slabs along with the G+3 single column building with varying floor span, slab span, slab thickness, column thickness, adding dome like structure on bottom has been carried out under the influence of loading via a software specially used for the analysis of the multi-storied building named as ETABS.
