This guide covers the design of slabs-on-ground for loads from material stored directly on the slab, storage rack loads, and static and dynamic loads associated with equipment and vehicles. Other loads, such as roof loads transferred through dual-purpose rack systems, are also mentioned. This guide discusses soil-support systems, shrinkage and ...

Near-Surface Concrete is manipulated and Reoriented. Floating embeds coarse aggregate, removes slight imperfections and voids in surface, and compacts/consolidates surface mortar. Entrained or smaller entrapped air voids coalesce into larger air voids, potentially near the surface. If large enough, these voids can result in surface blisters.
This edition of The Reinforced Concrete Design Handbook, SP-17M(14), is dedicated to the memory of Daniel W. Falconer and his many contributions to the concrete industry. He was Managing Director of Engineering for the American Concrete Institute from 1998 until his death in July 2015. Dan was instrumental in the reorganization of Building Code ...
CONCRETE FLOOR AND SLAB CONSTRUCTION 302.1R-3 The design of slabs-on-ground should conform to the recommendations of ACI 360R. Refer to ACI 223 for procedures for the design and construction of shrinkage-compensating concrete slabs-on-ground. The design of suspended floors should conform to requirements of ACI 318 and ACI 421.1R.
A. According to section 1.4.8 of ACI 318-19, if the slab-on-ground being designed transmits vertical loads or lateral forces from other portions of the structure (ex: columns, walls, etc…) to the soil, then design the slab per ACI 318-19. Otherwise, design the slab using ACI 360R-10 “Guide to Design of Slabs-on-Ground”.
This edition is a major revision that brings it up-to-date with the approach and provisions of Building Code Requirements for Structural Concrete (ACI 318-14). The layout and look of the Handbook have also been updated. The Reinforced Concrete Design Handbook now provides dozens of design examples of various reinforced concrete members, such as ...
1.1—Purpose. This guide presents information relative to the construction of slab-on-ground and suspended-slab floors for industrial, commercial, and institutional buildings. It is applicable to the construction of normalweight and structural lightweight concrete floors and slabs made with conventional portland and blended cements.
