主　　题：Uniformat system office buildings floor systems energy response cost estimating 

摘      要：Reinforced concrete(RC)as a material is most commonly used for buildings *** floor systems are available following the structural and architectural *** current research study provides cost and input energy comparisons of RC office buildings of different floor *** solid,ribbed,flat plate and flat slab systems are considered in the *** models in three-dimensional using extended threedimensional analysis of building systems(ETABS)and in two-dimensional using slab analysis by the finite element(SAFE)are developed for analysis *** and design using both software packages and manual calculations are employed to obtain the optimum sections and reinforcements to fit cities of low seismic intensities for all the considered building *** ground motion records of low peak ground acceleration(PGA)levels are used to excite the models to measure the input *** cost estimating system is adopted to categorize building components according to 12 ***,Microsoft(MS)Project is utilized to identify the construction cost and duration of each building *** study shows that floor system significantly causes changes in the input energy to *** addition,the slight increase in the PGA increases the amount of input energy particularly flat plate *** cost of the flat plate system that the flat slab system is of higher value as compared to ribbed and conventional slab *** use of drop panels increases this value as ***,the estimated cost of the ribbed slab system exceeds that of conventional system.
