It’s 5, inches, it’s also rather wide. When I try to do punishing shear equation, because it’s based on width of slab and critical perimeter, the kips come out to a lot. Like 3600 kips. The equation I’m using is Vu=Pu*(w^2-b0^2)

so i have a crane mat thats 5'*5'*1', i analyzed with the crane outrigger load and that should be fine. the slab on grade has w2.1 wwf, barely reinforced. senior colleague says tht means the slab doesnt take shear or bending. but how do i go about analyzing with mesh, never done that...
i have to analyze whether a two way slab can take the weight of 115 kip crane outrigger reaction load. i graduated in May and really have no clue where to even start. ive looked up aciR, and other resources. any help is greatly apprciated
