Hi all
Wondering what impact the depth of a thickened edge slab has on load bearing capacity? Or why different depths (heights) might be specified?
Around my parts it is common for a thickened edge to be 16*16 - but I'm wondering why not a 12 tall, 16 wide or a 24 tall? Does it help distribute...
Hi all
Recognizing that the thickened edge part of a thickened edge slab is there for multiple reasons, one being to pick up loads from walls above: does a thickened edge slab distribute weight differently than a footing with stem wall would? In my region a 30" wide x 10" tall footing is...
Hi
Designing a frost protected shallow foundation home and for various reasons a shallow strip footing with stem wall and an internal structural slab is being considered next to a thickened edge slab. As a non-engineer - I am curious as to why the standard detail for a thickened edge slab has...

Question is this: if ACI 318 (7.6.5) and CSA A23.3-2014 both limit reinforcement spacing to 3x the wall width maximum, why do Logix and FoxBlocks tables permit spacing well beyond this? How do they do it? FoxBlocks even...
