Calculating Concrete slab bending stress
Calculating Concrete slab bending stress
(OP)
I'm trying to calculate the bending stress on a concrete floor slab due to a force of 31000N 1m above the floor. The slab size is 6 in. thick by 16 ft by 8 ft wide.
Does anyone have any advice on the best way to go about this simple calculation?
Can I assume that it is simply supported (because it is on the ground over a foundation?)
Thanks for the help!

RE: Calculating Concrete slab bending stress
The force is applied parallel to the floor (or in the x/y-direction, which creates a moment, which then leads to the bending stress. For example, a robot on a 1 m pedestal. If the robot produces a 3000 N force in the x-direction, how should I calculate the bending stress in the slab/beam?
Thanks again!

And what is the accuracy you are looking for - approximation vs exact?
