Load-Rating An Existing Slab-On-Ground
Load-Rating An Existing Slab-On-Ground
(OP)
An owner would like to confirm the load-carrying capacity of an existing slab-on-ground at a one-story warehouse built in the 1940's. A typical bay within the warehouse is 50'x35'. Unfortunately, there are no existing drawings available and the warehouse owner wants to avoid any destructive investigations (such as coring, slab removal, sub-grade soil testing, etc.). Realizing these limitations makes our job very difficult, does anyone know of a technique to reasonably test an existing slab-on-ground?

Taking two cores and soil samples may give better information <G>.
