SOG Turndown for Tenant Slab
SOG Turndown for Tenant Slab
(OP)
Hey everyone,
I'm working on a steel framed retail/office building where the interior slab on grade will be the tenant's responsibility. We will still need to provide the wall footings and a band of slab for the light gauge infill walls to attach to. My plan was to show a typical slab turndown onto the wall footing and maybe a 1'-2' wide band of interior slab around the perimeter. The alternative would be to provide a stem wall to support the light gauge. The stem wall is much less concrete but would require additional formwork. The turndown seems like the easiest option but I wanted to be sure I'm not overlooking any ill-affects. Any of you have hesitations using my approach?
Thanks in advance.

It leaves an empty space for them to route any plumbing or electrical along the exterior and avoid the need for dowels or a visible construction joint.

The owner had all sorts of problems with the joint between the first exterior slab strip and the subsequent tenant-provided interior slab.
Essentially the interior slab moved relative to the exterior slab (or visa-versa) and the joint opened up and created problems with floor tile, bumps in carpet, etc.

Was that due to slab curling?

They also most likely didn't provide any dowels or other means of resisting vertical differential movements across the joint.

JAE - if properly keyed joints and dowels are used I wouldn't think that the result in your figure would be an issue. Although I feel a little less certain now ha!
