Im designing RC slab - an extension of existing slab above house entrance.
The only load is dead load and snow.
Slab is 140 mm thick. I will anchor it to the existing slab also 140 mm thick(in the middle).
One edge of a slab in unsupported and one is partly supported (on the wall).
I already designed a slab and it looks fine, however I m not comfortable about the fact that the slab system pretty much depends only on anchors (no bending capacity, only shear on rebars) especially because I have free edges.
What is your experience in this topic, any suggestion? should I worry?
