Slab on Grade Loading
Slab on Grade Loading
(OP)
Do I need to consider slab on grade loads (Dead and Live) on adjacent grade beams or foundation walls?
Is there a difference if I key and dowel the slab into the grade beam?
I have heard mixed advice. The most common approach I have heard is to take 1 meter of tributary width of the slab on grade.

If you go through the numbers, you'll likely find that BAretired's approach is fine, but would be good to satisfy your curiosity.
