Designing a floor slabs.

Basis of floor slab on grade design 2 1. Background information on design theories is followed. 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. 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.

The concrete floor slab itself provides structural support for floor loads and suitable backup for floor coverings and finishes. The structural design of the concrete floor slab on ground is dominated by the sub grade conditions and the floor loadings. 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. A typical base floor slab where the design criteria include controlling moisture migration and water vapor transmission into the interior space can be referred to as a waterproof.

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. Designing floor slabs on grade. Base floor slab waterproof system.

Stresses in floor slabs on grade resulting from vehicular loads are a function of.
