Typical gross rebar to concrete ratios in flat plate slabs
Typical gross rebar to concrete ratios in flat plate slabs
(OP)
Hey everyone,
Just wondering, does anyone have typical steel rebar to concrete ratios that they try to adhere to? For example, a flat plate slab that is 12" thick, if your rebar came out to "x" tons and your surface area of concrete came out to "y", you'd have "z" tons/sq ft. Any typical values people try to meet? It would vary if your slab was say 14", or say if your slab was a transfer slab. But I'm just wondering if there is any sort of common ratio that happens. I have two different transfers slabs that have the same amount of stories above (4), same thickness (14), and got a ratio of 0.004 tons/sq ft.
Any thoughts on this?
Thanks!
