Designing A Floor Slabs

The report addresses the planning design and detailing of slabs.

Designing a floor slabs.

Background information on design theories is followed. The structural design of the concrete floor slab on ground is dominated by the sub grade conditions and the floor loadings. Designing floor slabs on grade. Thermal expansion and contraction of the concrete the structural design of a concrete floor slab on grade is primarily controlled by the stresses caused by moving live loads and in some cases the stationary loads.

Design of slabs on ground reported by aci committee 360 aci 360r 06 this document presents information on the design of slabs on ground primarily industrial floors. Base floor slab waterproof system. Stresses in floor slabs on grade resulting from vehicular loads are a function of. The design and detailing of these slabs are an involved process as the interaction between the natural and or made ground and the rigid concrete floor slab presents challenges in terms of cracking movement and flatness.

Basis of floor slab on grade design 2 1. The concrete floor slab itself provides structural support for floor loads and suitable backup for floor coverings and finishes. The two design options are a ground bearing slab or a pile supported suspended slab. If consolidation of plastic soils is determined to be a potential problem a suspended slab may be the only effective solution in which.
