Concrete Slab Design for Temporary Transformer 3

[Persianger]

Hi,

I need to place a cast-in-place concrete slab (8" thick) for a temporary transformer at a job site.

The soil underneath is backfilled with structural material and compacted.

The original design does not show any mesh or rebar for the slab (9'x6'), and the transformer load on the slab is roughly 550 PSF (10,000 lbs total weight of the transformer).

I question whether I need to add a mesh (or rebar) to prevent cracking or for any other structural reasons/requirements.


Thank you!
