ETABS software is used to analyze the structural response of reinforced concrete (RCC) and post-tensioned (PT) slabs under lateral loading. This study investigates RCC and PT slabs’ behavior by using finite element analysis to determine bending moments, shear forces, and storey drift. Prestrassed slabs display lower bending moments and shear forces than RCC slabs, demonstrating the effectiveness of prestressing in reducing structural requirements. A reduction in storey drift also indicates improved resistance to lateral deformations in PT slabs. In terms of structural performance and cost-effectiveness, PT slabs offer potential benefits for constructing layouts and construction, making them an attractive choice.
