Concrete Slab Thickness - Is there a general rule?
Concrete Slab Thickness - Is there a general rule?
(OP)
A customer of ours wants to know how thick his concrete slab needs to be under his tank. We know nothing about the soil...all we know is that it will be a uniform load of 5000psf under a steel base that is 11'-0" in diameter. i am just looking for a general rule of thumb, or chart that can be used assuming good soil conditions and reinforced concrete. It is all just general, and then customer knows that a Civil Eng. will have to be on site to determine exactly what is required. please help and thanks!

check out these threads. Suggest either compacted granular material or ring wall.
