        abstract = {The study presents a comprehensive review of research focused on the comparative performance of post-tensioned (PT) and reinforced concrete (RC) slab systems, along with the analysis and design approaches for raft foundations in multistorey buildings. The reviewed literature spans analytical, experimental, and numerical studies using software such as ETABS and SAFE to assess parameters including cost, material efficiency, deformation, and seismic performance. Results across multiple studies indicate that post-tensioned slabs generally improved structural efficiency and cost-effectiveness for large-span and high-rise applications. The review highlights importance of integrating optimized PT systems and raft foundation systems for sustainable, cost-effective, and performance-based structural design.},
