slab subjected to upwards point load
slab subjected to upwards point load
(OP)
Hi all,
I'm trying to analyse a slab which is subjected to an upward point load at the edge. The load is about 12kN and the slab 170mm thick spanning 2700mm continuously .
Is there any way which I can determine the area of slab that can be mobilised to resist this load?

However, if it is a slab-on-grade, it's a different problem.

Re a 12 kN upward load on a 170mm slab. This load is equal to 3m2 of slab dead load. Design top reinforcement for the slab cantilevering 1.5m and you should be safe.
