Hello everyone
My first-time post and new to this forum.
I am designing a suspended reinforced concrete workshop ground floor slab, 75 x 60 m (already in panels) spanning on beams then between pile caps. The slab will bear the weight of a reach stacker and it is clear from the soil test report it cannot sit on grade. For this kind of design do I need to bother about introducing either expansion or construction joints? If yes, what is the best way to go about it? The slab has a thickness of 400 mm and reinforced both ways i.e top/bottom.
Thanks
