ACI Regerence
ACI Regerence
(OP)
I have this 48 ft diameter circular slab 24" thick. Slab will support liquid retained tank and sit concrete columns. I ran my analysis and have plate moments and plate shear values. I have modeled this slab as plates. However, if I want to verify whether concrete beams are required, which ACI check shall I look into?






RE: ACI Regerence
I would figure out the column loads, and distribute the loads evenly over the subgrade. Figure out the slab as a continuous beam in each direction and design for the shears and moments. Three's no harm in designing the slab in both directions for the same loads, it's done all the time. Check punching shear and you should be all right.
