What lateral loads must be considered when designing lateral bracing for shoring under a sloped concrete slab? For a flat slab, the lateral forces are generally taken as the greater of 100 lb/ft or 2% of the total vertical dead load on the form. What additional lateral forces – if any – should be considered when the slab has a large slope - 60% for example? Any references/guidelines would be greatly appreciated.
