Standard practice for warehouse slab on grade

Standard practice for warehouse slab on grade

Standard practice for warehouse slab on grade

(OP)
Is it standard practice these days, in Ontario, to specify low shrinkage (0.04% shrinkage strain) concrete for stacker warehouse slab-on-grade floors, as per the option in CSA A23.1?

What is the current practice in Ontario Canada, with respect to specifying a shrinkage strain for the concrete for stacker warehouse floors?

What is the current practice in other areas, such as say:
 - Florida, USA
 - New York state
 - or anywhwre else

We are designing a steel fibre reinforced floor, but irresepctive of the steel fibres or not, it seems to me that the low shrinkage concrete should be considered, so I am interested if anyone has knowledge of current practice.

RE: Standard practice for warehouse slab on grade

I am anywhere else.

We don't spec low shrinkage concrete, we genrally would o wither either a PT slab or a heavy reo design.
