slab-on-ground design for heavy loads
slab-on-ground design for heavy loads
(OP)
Could someone recommend a design procedure for a slab-on-ground with heavy loads (ex: airplane wheel load). I've found the WRI procedure for slab-on-ground foundations, but it seems to specify only light, residential loads. I've also looked at the WRI Innovative ways to Reinforce Slabs-on-Ground" however my design load (67 psi) is off the PCA chart it recommends for determining slab thickness.
I appreciate the help!

And the free design software referenced in the above document they actually want you to use called PCASE

Check with State of Washington DOT...they have software that is excellent and free.

FAA has very specific design requirements for apron concrete, including low strength concrete bases, thickness, flexural capacity, etc...
Otherwise, I would use the Army Corps slab on grade manual that is referenced by pcronin. THis is an excellent design guide, which I have used many times.
