Foundation for Steel Frame
Foundation for Steel Frame
(OP)
I have a portal steel frame about 1.2 metres in width with 2 legs supporting an estimated load of 3000 kg.
The legs of this steel frame is to be supported on an existing 4 inch thick concrete slab.
Would providing a plinth on this existing concrete slab be sufficient, or should I break out the existing concrete slab, excavate and pour a new concrete foundation for this steel frame?
If a concrete plinth is sufficient, what would be the approximate size of this plinth?
If a foundation is required, what would be the approximate size of this foundation?
