Hi,
In ACI 360R,chapter 9 in 9.8 and 9.9: design of slabs on expansive/compressible soil.As far as I understood the value of moments are given for a slab on ground with beams and perimeter load.
1-Are these equations for structural slab on grade? or could be used for slab on grades that do not form part of the structure?
2-What about slab on grades without beams, how should I calculate their moments?
3-should these equations be applied also for non-prestressed slab on grounds?
