Slab on Grade Design Help
Slab on Grade Design Help
(OP)
Hi all,
I'm using ACI 360R-10 to design a slab on grade, but I'm not sure how to account for the load from an interior wall. The load from the wall is something like 3 klf, but assuming the subgrade modulus is k=100 pci, the slab thickness is off the charts. Should I not be using ACI 360R-10 for this part? (A 12" slab works for the distributed loads and vehicle loads)
What is the best way to determine the thickness of a concrete slab on grade from an interior wall load?
I'm very new to the industry, so thanks in advance for any help!

RE: Slab on Grade Design Help
If you have a concrete design textbook it should have an example in there. Otherwise this one looks good:

A strip footing will be the same design as a spread footing but you just run a 1' section and calculate the thickness and reinforcement for one way shear and flexure, there won't be any 2 way shear or flexure in the long direction.
