Elevated concrete slab with a hole in the center
Elevated concrete slab with a hole in the center
(OP)
Does anyone know if the code has stipulations for a concrete slab with a signifigant void in the center with reguards to steel reinforcement? for example: I am trying to design the reinforcement for a 31'x25'x8" elevated slab with a 5'x5' opening in the center supported by concrete beams on all sides with poured concrete columns at the corners. Could i do double or triple rebar on the perimeter of the void? I'm at a loss for what to do about this.
Thanks in advance for any advice.

I've seen this also do this twice - once for each direction, which gives you a little redundancy in your design.
Diagonal bars are also sometimes place more to control cracking than anything else.
