Thanks Jae !
I spoke to one of my concreter who has done a few jobs like this before and he suggested to do a slope slab instead. Having a topping slab can be a problem due to delamination between the 2 slabs (even asphalt unless it is very thick). Also, if there is a cracks in the slab, it is...
Hi all,
I am currently working on a project to build a Bondek suspended slab over a storage area with warehouses above. The suspended slab should be able to withstand trucks driving over.
I came up with the following ideas, can someone suggest any issue or have any recommendations:
1. Build...
@Hturkak,
I agree with you waiting for excavation to confirm the waterproofing requirements.
I have increased the thickness of the slab to resist the hydrostatic pressure.
@hokie66 - you are correct , i meant CFA actually.
@slideruleera - I have designed the slab to resist 1m of hydrostatic...
@HTURKAK
Ground NSL is approx. 2.20 above datum.
Since the water was found -3.8 to -4.5 below the NSL, which is approx. 1.4m below basement FFL, the geotechnical engineer suggested contiguous piles with capping beams and suspended slab for ground floor slab.
-0.02 is the FFL of basement level...
Hi all,
I am currently in the process of design of a full tanking basement just under sea level (-0.02) and it is very close to the sea, within 300m.
Geotechnical engineer found water at -2m but I do expect lots of ground water during excavation.
Basement wall: We are planning to install...
