ANSYS is finite element software. In the present work, finite element analysis of RCC slab models have been carried out. The study is based on the fact that stress and displacement variation depends on boundary conditions of slab. Present study is aimed to know the variation of displacement, stresses, in slab with different boundary conditions. Non-Linear static analysis is carried out using ANSYS 10 Software. Load on slab is calculated as per IS 875 part I for dead load and part II for live load. Parameter considered is to study the effect of opening in slab on stress and displacement. The study shows that displacement is highest in slab having simple support on all sides and stresses are least in same slab along the edges. Also slab with fixed support on all sides shows least displacement and highest stresses along the edges of the slab.
