Concrete Reinforcement for Slotted Drain
Concrete Reinforcement for Slotted Drain
(OP)
Hi, I need to design the reinforcement for the concrete surrounding a slotted trench drain. My initial assumption is to design for flexure of a beam on grade, however, the beam is irregular shaped due to the channel. What are your suggestions? Please see attached picture. Thanks!

You could design this as a beam on an elastic foundation, but that's a lot of work and your results will probably be similar to putting in #5 bars as shown.
