Abstract
This paper investigates the economical advantage of composite slab over pre cast beam slab. The
structural design was done by SAP software and the cost analysis was calculated. nine different
models were taken by varying column spacing for each of the cases. The comparison was done
on G+2 building . This paper doesn't consider height of building.
The result of the research showed that ribbed slab structure has lesser cost up to 7m column
spacing . For column spacing greater than 7m composite slab has lesser cost.

CHAPTER ONE
1. Introduction
1.1 Background
Housing is one of the basic human needs next to food & clothing. However fulfilling this basic
need becomes so difficult in the developing countries because building cost of houses is highly
rising to the extent of which could not be afforded by low class citizens. This is also true areas
like Addis Ababa
Thus, providing low cost houses for such citizens is vital, by providing different construction
methodology such as composite slabs and pre cast beam slab, which can reduce the time taken to
construct and the cost of other inputs such as material and labor.
Appropriate cost-effective technology should make most effective use of available resources
and result in the maximum overall benefits to the society at minimum costs. Cost-efficiency
is one of the most crucial points of low-cost housing. It can mainly be achieved by
standardization of building elements and reducing the number of different items needed.
Prefabrication
and the use of special tools to produce these standardized elements maximize
productivity, resulting in lower cost per unit.
Through intelligent dual-usage of building elements as building part and as formwork the
construction costs are reduced. In the construction process, the amount of wasted materials
for formwork can be reduced as well the time for building and dismantling formwork.
Composite construction is particularly competitive for medium or long span structures where a
concrete slab or deck is needed for other reasons, where there is a premium on rapid
construction, and where a low or medium level of fire protection to steelwork is sufficient ( R. P.
Johnson 1994)

CHAPTER TWO
2.Literature Review
The concept of composite structures of steel and concrete, like composite slabs, beam and
column discusses using composite structure of steel and concrete will save construction time of
building, this loss of income from capital may be 10% of the total cost of the building ; that is,
about one third of the cost of the structure. The construction time is strongly influenced by the
time taken to construct a typical floor of the building.
Even more time can be saved if the floor slabs are cast on permanent steel formwork that acts
first as a working as a working platform, and then as bottom reinforcement for the slab. This
formwork, known as profiled steel sheeting , has long been used in most regions where the
sheeting is readily available, such as Europe, Australasia and Japan. These floors span in one
direction only, and are known as composite slabs. where the steel sheet is flat, so that two-way
spanning occurs, the structure is known as a composite plate.
Buildings of composite slab decking can be positioned on the structure by crane and the
individual sheets then installed by hand. Using this process, crane time is minimal, and in excess
of 400 m2 of decking can be installed by one team in a day, depending on the shape and size of
the building footprint. The use of the decking as a working platform speed the construction
process.( R.P. Johnson 1994)
Composite construction is considerably stiffer and stronger than many other floor systems. So
the weight and size of the primary structure can be reduced consequently, foundation size can be
reduced. (SCI No p300)
One of the primary concerns of cost-in-place system is they usually require the use of formwork
and shoring while curing, which results in increases in construction and duration over typical
composite construction.(Nathan jondewit, M.S.C. 2012)
The only way to maximize production of housing would be making optimum use of the available
resources and stretch them to the maximum extent possible, through adoption of a technology
appropriate to the present circumstances.

Appropriate cost effective technology should make most effective use of available resources and
result in the maximum overall benefits to the society at minimum cost. Cost efficiency is one of
the most crucial points of low cost housing. It can mainly be achieved by standardization of
building elements and reducing the number of different items needed. Prefabrication and the use
of special tools to produce this standardized element maximize productivity, resulting in lower
cost per unit. (Matheas Kebede, M.S.C 2009)
Economical advance using profaned deck is achieved due to speed in construction. They
notified normally 2.5 to 4m spans can be handed without propping ( sijaria et al. 2014)
Composite structural system because of the lesser magnitude of the bean and forces and
moments compared to an R.C system one can use lighter section in a composite stricter thus, it
reduces the self weight an cost of the structural components. This downward reaction and
bending moment in other two directions for composite structural system is less . under
earthquake consideration because of inherent ductility perform better that a RC structure
(shweta A. Et al 2014)
Performed structural analysis and design for steel-concrete composite frames and stated that
short to medium span (6m to 12m) composite floor beams perform quite well and are rarely
found to transmit annoying vibrations to the occupants and particular care is required for long
span beam more than 12m. They also stated that steel-concrete composite beams are highly
efficient and economic with bay sizes in the range of 6m to 12m (Liew and Richard Jat Yuen
2001)
Economic advantage of fabricated beams that they can be designed to provide the required
moment and shear resistance along the beam span in accordance with the loading pattern along
the beam. They concluded that steel-concrete composite tapered beams are found to be
economical for spans up to 20 m. (Brian Uy and J.Y. Richard Liew 2003)
building frames with column spacing between 9 to 10m and greater than this span along both
axes, steel-concrete composite construction has economical advantages than reinforced concrete
construction and 9 to 12 and greater than this storeys, again, steel-concrete composite
7
construction has economical advantages than reinforced concrete construction in our
country.(Bergene
Bergene Bassa M.S.C 2016)
Composite slab consists of a profiled steel sheet which is dimple at the surface and an upper
concrete topping which are interconnected in such a manner that horizontal
horizont shear force can be
transferred at the steel concrete interface

greater resistance with less weight.
cost redaction; both in terms of labour costs and prices, as there is no need for props, and
in terms of material, as less concrete is used, which in turn means a lighter structure and
less waste
Pre-cost beam slob is made of pre-cost reinforced concrete beam together with hollow concrete
blocks are laid between supports and used as permanent formwork for an in-situ concrete
topping.
Slab depths typically vary from 75 to 125mm. and rib widths from 125 to200mm. Rib spacing of
600 to 1500mm can be used. The overall depth of the floor typically varies from 300 to 600 mm
with overall spans of up to 15m if reinforced, longer post tensioned. The use of ribs to the soffit
of the slab reduces the quantity of concrete and reinforcement and also the weight of the floor.
the saving of materials will be offset by the complication in formwork and placing of
reinforcement. however, formwork complication is minimized by use of standard, modular,
reusable formwork, usually made from polypropylene or fiberglass and with tapered sides to
allow stripping or lead hollow block between the rib (tps:civilgital.com)

CHAPTER THREE
The analysis was done for two cases, for the composite slab and ribbed slab, without changing
reinforced concrete frame structure for both cases. For each case nine G+2 buildings having the
same floor plan has been taken. The nine buildings that are used in the analysis are got by
varying the column spacing with 0.5m starting from 4m up to 8m. The connection detail for
composite slab with RC beam section is shown in the fig 3.1.

Fig 4.1 span and cost comparison of ribbed and composite slab
4.2 Discussions
Figure 4.1.shows the effect of column spacing on the cost of composite and ribbed slab. There
was considered nine building structure from composite
composite and ribbed slab during analysis, that was
L=4m, L=4.5m, L=5m, L=5.5m, L=6m L=6.5m, L=7m, L=7.5m and L=8m length however
shown in Fig.4.1,
.1, the cost of ribbed slab increasing at increasing rate after 5m column spacing
but composite slab cost is increase at decreasing rate after 5.5m of column spacing , the cost of
ribbed slab become greater after 7m
7 column spacing.

CHAPTER FIVE
5.2 Recommendation
This study is made only on the theoretical or analytical bases, further studies
can be done in the laboratory and also a comprehensive study of cost saving in
buildings by considering all factors, such as cost factor of height of the building
and for large span case.
