dik, what is the reentrant detail? Sent From My TI-84+

dik Those are some nice details, simple but add a lot of value THANK YOU Sent From My TI-84+

Thank You dik Sent From My TI-84+

Dik The bottom of the slab (footers) are set at 12" below grade in this project, The code in this area requires 6" (mid-Atlantic region). So I think I am covered for frost heave. I like the way you rolled the stirrup into the upper grid, I may borrow that vs the dual hook setup I show in my...

R13 When I request the soil report for a 28 X 10 Foot area how many samples should I expect to be taken? I would expect sample need to be taken throughout the slab area of coverage. Thanks in Advance -Tim C. Sent From My TI-84+

Hello Engineers My background is in electrical engineering but I am helping to design an equipment slab (which will eventually be reviewed by a PE). I have designed the slab using the PCA method and Back checked it with the GRDSLAB spreadsheet that is available online. Does anyone have a set...

There is no dynamic loading, the slab is sized for the equipment only. No vehicle traffic on fork truck (or none of the sort). The seismic aspect is not a concern here. I will look into the wind loading aspect. The gear is surrounded by a facility on three sides, the gear is basically sitting...

Ahh, I see I will look into this aspect. When (in your experience) an equipment slab is set, is it common practice to get a soils report? Or if the soil is compacted to the 95% density on the proctor test is this sufficient to handle an equipment slab? Thanks in Advacne -Tim C. Sent From...

I found this as I was researching Slab On Grade Calculations used as equipment slabs: https://www.macallisterpowersystems.com/solutions/engineering-toolbox/generator-set-foundations/ Best Regards -Tim C. Sent From My TI-84+

R13 if you have a moment could you explain what you are relaying to me in the sketch Thanks in Advance -Tim C.

I understand that my numbers are based on total chiller skid weight vs the actually linear weight per foot of a single chiller. My reasoning for this was that it would make the pad more than thick enough, and second, if I went with a single chiller liner weight per/FT, the pad thickness would be...

Would someone involved in daily RC Concrete design mind looking over an equipment slab I setup. In summary, the pad is an equipment pad designed to accommodate (3) uniform wall loads of approx 450 LBS/FT. The equipment is a chiller skid weighing approximately 17,000 LBS with the pad sized to...
