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

Design method
Design method publisher; Portland Cement Association
Materials and site properties
Slab thickness; h = 150 mm
Specified compressive strength of concrete; f'c = 35 MPa
Subgrade modulus; k = 27145 kN/m3
Wheel specifications
Axle type; Single-axle
Number of wheels at end of each axle; Single wheel
Wheel center to center spacing; S = 914 mm
Loading details
Load location; Interior
Axle load; Pa = 51.6 kN
Safety facor; FS = 2
Load contact area per wheel; Ac = 38709 mm2
By iteration assumend trial thickness; htrial = 127 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 = 38433 mm2
Slab thickness design
Modulus of rupture of concrete; fr = 0.749  (f'c  1 MPa) = 4.431 MPa
Concrete working stress; ft_allow = fr / FS = 2.216 MPa
Slab stress / 4.45 kN (1000 lb) axle load; ft = ft_allow / (Pa /1 kN / 4.448) = 0.191 MPa
Required slab thickness (Fig. A1.1); hmin = 131 mm
hmin / h = 0.875
PASS - Slab thickness is adequate to avoid live load-induced cracks
Crack control options
Reinforcement type; Bar reinforcement
Reinforcement provided; #4@150 mm each way
Area of reinf. provided; As_prov = 845 mm2/m
Minimum area of reinf. required; As_req = 0.005  h = 750 mm2/m
As_req / As_prov = 0.888
PASS - Area of reinforcement exceeds minimum required area
Note - Min. steel is calculated based on 0.5% (PCA 2001) of slab cross section area for crack-width control (8.3)
