Flat slab systems are reinforced concrete floor systems where slabs are directly supported by columns without beams. Their reduced structural weight helps lower earthquake-induced forces, while the open floor layout provides greater architectural flexibility. When combined with shear walls or moment-resisting frames and designed with proper seismic detailing, flat slab systems offer efficient and reliable performance in earthquake-resistant buildings.
