Structural slab on Dry Fine Sand Backfill
Structural slab on Dry Fine Sand Backfill
(OP)
I have a concerete slab that has fork truck traffic on it, which has settled in one section. The settled section shows some brick and debris (fill material), however the remainder of the borings show Dry Brown Fine Sand, Little Silt down 15'. Should I be concerned with the Dry Brown Fine Sand as a support material for the concrete slab?

the fork lifts loads (wheel loads in particular), number of forklift passes, adjacent rack loads, slab reinforcement and thickness, subgrade conditions, foundation conditions, expected performance, etc will all play a role in the overall assessment of your situation. hope my rather general explanation helps to shed some light on your situation. good luck.
