What thickness of warehouse slabs are you engineers out there using? I am just looking for a gut check, not an in depth discussion on the "art" of industrial floor slab design. 
I am designing a floor slab to support a 20 kip axle load. I have used the the tired and true PCA alignment charts method and determined a slab thickness of 7". I ran the same analysis in RISA Foundation and found that I can use a 5" thick slab.
It is a large slab, so the thickness has a large impact on quantity.
