    Cursorily Review of Concrete Details

    Dik The bottom of the slab (footers) are set at 12" below grade in this project, The code in this area requires 6" (mid-Atlantic region). So I think I am covered for frost heave. I like the way you rolled the stirrup into the upper grid, I may borrow that vs the dual hook setup I show in my...

    R13 When I request the soil report for a 28 X 10 Foot area how many samples should I expect to be taken? I would expect sample need to be taken throughout the slab area of coverage. Thanks in Advance -Tim C. Sent From My TI-84+

    Does Anyone Have Slab on Grade Example Calculations They Can Share?

    Hello Engineers My background is in electrical engineering but I am helping to design an equipment slab (which will eventually be reviewed by a PE). I have designed the slab using the PCA method and Back checked it with the GRDSLAB spreadsheet that is available online. Does anyone have a set...

    Cursorily Review of Concrete Details

    There is no dynamic loading, the slab is sized for the equipment only. No vehicle traffic on fork truck (or none of the sort). The seismic aspect is not a concern here. I will look into the wind loading aspect. The gear is surrounded by a facility on three sides, the gear is basically sitting...

    Cursorily Review of Concrete Details

    Ahh, I see I will look into this aspect. When (in your experience) an equipment slab is set, is it common practice to get a soils report? Or if the soil is compacted to the 95% density on the proctor test is this sufficient to handle an equipment slab? Thanks in Advacne -Tim C. Sent From...

    Cursorily Review of Concrete Details

    I understand that my numbers are based on total chiller skid weight vs the actually linear weight per foot of a single chiller. My reasoning for this was that it would make the pad more than thick enough, and second, if I went with a single chiller liner weight per/FT, the pad thickness would be...

    Cursorily Review of Concrete Details

    Would someone involved in daily RC Concrete design mind looking over an equipment slab I setup. In summary, the pad is an equipment pad designed to accommodate (3) uniform wall loads of approx 450 LBS/FT. The equipment is a chiller skid weighing approximately 17,000 LBS with the pad sized to...
