COMPARATIVE STUDY:
General:
The buildings are analyzed for determine the best condition which can be constructed economically. The behavior of each condition is observed carefully. Then suitable condition is selected and suitable dimensions as well as steel area are also determined. The chapter gives a comparative of the material, dimensions etc required for both the options I building and potion II building. It is obvious that the amount of material required for option I building will be higher than the option II building. But the option I building got beam free floor height. Due to this beam free space, looks nice and the floor will be heavily reinforced and it will be durable.
Comparison Between the Two Types of Structure:
The comparison is made in terms of element dimension, volume of concrete and steel
requirement, their cost and economic view.
Dimension of different parts of beam supported structure and flat pate structure:

CONCLUSION AND RECOMMENDATION
Recommendations for Further Study:
For further study in this field, the following recommendations are put forward:
i) The study needed use of conventional finite element software and manual calculation for both analysis and design of whole structures to give a comprehensive conclusion.
ii) Instead of one residential square building of about 3.5 katahs it requires other geometrically shaped and larger areas residential building for accurate comparison.
Conclusions:
From the comparative study of beam supported structure and flat plate structure, we gathered knowledge that:
a) From the Finite Element Analysis result it can be said that the internal forces in the flat plate structure is higher than that of beam supported structure.
b) The construction of flat plate structure requires more construction material which results in more cost. Such as, concrete requirement increased in flat plate structure about 1.5% and steel requirement about 11% and finally increased cost of 6.5% than beam supported structure.
c) In case of flat plate structure interior space of building looks nice, due to absence of beams offset. Flat plate slab is thicker and more heavily reinforced than slabs with beams and girders.
d) It is apparent from the cost comparison that the difference between two estimates is very insignificant and moreover this difference is for only frame of the building. The cost per unit area for finishing items will remain same for all cases. In compare to the enormous benefit that can be gained for aesthetic view and also for light provision, the cost increase in this case is very insignificant.
