Since this is not designed to have piles or footings, i cannot design it as a two way or one way slab...to calculate the reinforcement I assume I will compare the bearing...
Thank you all! I am loving this by the way, I miss doing real engineering, we dont get to do much in power delivery consulting.
Another contractor is performing the site prep and grading, we are waiting on our soil bores to come back but I am using bearing capacity of 1,500 psf to be...
