Slab Foundation-Refer To Section 4.1 of ACI 360R: Project Job Ref

This document provides a summary of the design of a 300 mm thick concrete slab on ground in accordance with ACI 360R. Key details include: - The slab was designed for a single-axle load of 133.4 kN on an interior slab section with a subgrade modulus of 50,000 kN/m3. - Analysis of the slab thickness and joint spacing showed that the 300 mm thickness and 4500 mm joint spacing were adequate to resist cracking from the design live loads. - The minimum required thickness was calculated as 246 mm based on the load and soil properties, confirming the 300 mm thickness was sufficient.

SLAB ON GROUND (ACI 360R)


In accordance with Guide to Design of Slab-on-Ground per ACI 360R-10
Tedds calculation version 1.0.01

300 mm

Slab foundation-refer to Section 4.1 of ACI 360R

Design method
Design method publisher; Portland Cement Association
Materials and site properties
Slab thickness; h = 300 mm
Specified compressive strength of concrete; f'c = 25 MPa
Subgrade modulus; k = 50000 kN/m3
Wheel specifications
Axle type; Single-axle
Number of wheels at end of each axle; Single wheel
Wheel center to center spacing; S = 1016 mm
Loading details
Load location; Interior
Axle load; Pa = 133.4 kN
Safety facor; FS = 2
Load contact area per wheel; Ac = 32258 mm2
By iteration assumend trial thickness; htrial = 254 mm
The following output is based on the use of this trial thickness in the design charts in Appendix A of ACI 360R
Effective contact area per wheel (Fig. A1.2); Ac_eff = 39677 mm2
Slab thickness design
Modulus of rupture of concrete; fr = 0.749  (f'c  1 MPa) = 3.745 MPa
Concrete working stress; ft_allow = fr / FS = 1.873 MPa
Slab stress / 4.45 kN (1000 lb) axle load; ft = ft_allow / (Pa /1 kN / 4.448) = 0.062 MPa
Required slab thickness (Fig. A1.1); hmin = 246 mm
hmin / h = 0.82
PASS - Slab thickness is adequate to avoid live load-induced cracks
Crack control options
Reinforcement type Unreinforced
Concrete type Typical concrete
Actual joint spacing Sjoint = 4500 mm
Recommended joint spacing (Fig.6.6) Sjoint_max = 6739 mm
Sjoint / Sjoint_max = 0.668
