SLAB ON GROUND (ACI 360R)

In accordance with Guide to Design of Slab-on-Ground per ACI 360R-10
Tedds calculation version 1.0.03

Design summary
Description Unit Provided Required Utilization Result
Slab thickness mm 300 243 0.810 PASS
Joint spacing mm 4500 6739 0.668 PASS
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 = 36 MPa
Subgrade modulus; k = 17145 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) = 4.494 MPa
Concrete working stress; ft_allow = fr / FS = 2.247 MPa
Slab stress / 4.45 kN (1000 lb) axle load; ft = ft_allow / (Pa /1 kN / 4.448) = 0.075 MPa
Required slab thickness (Fig. A1.1); hmin = 243 mm
hmin / h = 0.81
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
PASS - Joint spacing is adequate to avoid live load-induced cracks
