I'm working on a slab-on-grade to support a battery energy storage system cabinet for solar energy. The specified product is manufactured in China, and product's technical specifications state that "due to the large weight and size of the container itself, it is generally not necessary to fix...
It is both close to the deck and covers a large area. The mean canopy height is 13.5' above the deck and the canopy is 183' long in axis of the slope (211' wide perpendicular to slope). We did look at Figure 29.4-7, but the panels are not directly attached to a flat roof. The bottom surface area...
