Slab-on-Grade Design
(OP)
Hello,
I can't seem to find any PCA design charts for slab thickness when all I have is a distributed load and no aisle. I need to design a slab for 2,000 psf tank resting on it. Where should I start?

A good structural engineer is often a blessing for others.

I 2nd PSEPK on his reference. Its a great book.
RE: Slab-on-Grade Design
That is what I was thinking but I wasn't sure if there was more to it than that.
P.S.
I have access to the book from the engineer at my office and I looked online to buy one of my own. Why does it cost $800 to buy one? It doesn't specifically address pure uniform loads.

$800 seems steep for a book, but that is what Amazon is showing. I'd keep looking, must be a better deal out there. Feeling pretty lucky I got my copy for $2 at a book sale.
