Minimum Slab Thickness for PEMB Using Hairpins
Minimum Slab Thickness for PEMB Using Hairpins
(OP)
Is there a minimum slab thickness to be considered when using hairpins to resist thrust loads in PEMB's? I don't have Newmans text to reference (if it's in there, please let me know), but I was debating if a 4" slab was too thin for hairpins? Is there a minimum slab thickness to use when using hairpins? 6"? 8"?
It was something I was debating on the commute today, and I'm looking to better understand slab/foundations for PEMB's, so be kind. Thanks in advance.

In cases of excessive thrust, we will use a tie-rod from column to column.
