Heavy Load Concrete Floor Slab Design
This course outlines the fundamental design principles for heavy load concrete floor slabs used in industrial and commercial structures. It focuses on the design of slabs on grade that support substantial loads, including stationary live loads, moving equipment, and wall loads common in warehouses and manufacturing facilities. The course applies to engineers involved in the design and evaluation of heavy-duty concrete floor systems.
Through a combination of theoretical foundations and applied design techniques, participants will gain a comprehensive understanding of the criteria, design basis, and analytical procedures used for heavy load concrete slabs. The instructional material is adapted from the Departments of the Army and the Air Force Technical Manual titled “Concrete Floor Slabs on Grade Subjected to Heavy Loads,” making it directly relevant to real-world applications and engineering standards.
Learning Objectives
This course is intended to provide you with the following specific knowledge and skills:
- Introduce the principles of foundation design for heavy load concrete slabs
- Explain the basis of slab on grade design
- Determine floor slab requirements based on loading and site conditions
- Conduct site investigations relevant to slab performance
