Hi, I am new to the Canadian code NBCC 2015. I was wondering if anyone can guide me on the following items
- Is there a limit on how long a concrete slab can be. I am not referring to the span but the total length of the floor plate.
- Is there any recommendation by NBCC for slabs longer than 60m to be designed with temperature loads included as well. If yes, where can i find it.
- Does NBCC specify any over-strength load factor to be added to seismic combination for 'transfer beams/columns/slabs? There is a recommendation in ASCE.
