The study and development of slabs continue to be an important topic in structural engineering. As there is an increasing need for cost-efficient and quick construction methods, Hollow Core Slabs (HCS) have become a better option than traditional reinforced cement concrete (RCC) slabs. These slabs help reduce the time needed for construction while maintaining the same quality, and they also allow for longer spans, better insulation against heat and noise, and overall cost savings. In one year, the cost of building the same floor area using HCS instead of RCC slabs can be quite different, making HCS a sensible choice in today's construction industry. This research examines a reinforced concrete (RC) framed building with 21 floors (G+21). The structure is analyzed separately using both HCS and RCC slabs in seismic zones II, III, IV, and V. The main goal is to compare the performance of these two structural systems—one using hollow core slabs and the other using RCC slabs. The study evaluates various structural factors such as shear force, bending moment, deflection, axial force, storey shear, and displacement. Separate models were created for each slab type in every seismic zone, and the results were analyzed for each zone. The research aims to show the cost benefits of HCS over RCC slabs by assessing the structural behavior of important components like columns, floors, and foundations.
