Does anyone have any guidance on removing shoring for thick (mass concrete) slabs?
I'm trying to specify the minimum strength permitted before allowing formwork and shoring removal.
My slab is controlled by ACI minimum reinforcing, not strength, and will support large walls above as a transfer slab.
My belief is to reach the aci minimum design strength of 2,500 psi but i feel like that might be too conservative.
Any thoughts?
