I HAVE A JIB CRANE, 1 TON, SPAN 16 FT THE CUSTOMER WOULD LIKE TO PLACE IT ON A SLAB ON GRADE 10" ANY ONE HAS IDEA OF A DESIGN PROCEDURE ON VERIFYING THAT THE CONCRETE WILL TAKE THAT LOAD
I hared that I have to analyis it as slab on grade and figure the K value for the soil. most of the time I assume it as Un-reninforced conc. It would be nice if there is a software can do it or even a spreadshet
I need to know if there is a book/reference on how to design slab on grade subjected to concentrated moment and tention. common case if a jib crane is installed in already buit factory. any idea how to chack if its ok or not?
I am wondering in a steel crane, box girder, which required a diaphram every 4 ft, I saw the some example the diaphrams welded
a)all around
b)the diaphram not all the way to the bottom?
any idea why the cut the diaphram short and not welded to the bottom flange
