Concrete Floor Slab with compression loading
Concrete Floor Slab with compression loading
(OP)
I have a project with 5 levels of below-grade floors, therefore those floor slabs are also under lateral compression loads due to the soil pressure on the basement walls. It is all CIP concrete. Some floors will be 2-way flat slabs others will be one-way with beams. Is there a preferred method for accounting for the compression load, such as moment magnification (ACI 10.10)? Or ACI 14.8, walls with compression and flexure? At the deepest levels the compression loads are in the range of 30 kips per l.f. on a floor slab.
