Watch this webinar to learn the principles of evaluating and designing concrete slab-on-ground systems.
This webinar will provide principles and information on the design of slabs-on-ground with the primary focus on agricultural applications. It addresses the planning, design, and detailing of slabs. Background information on design theories is followed by discussion of the types of slabs, soil-support systems, loadings, and jointing.
Design methods will be based on ACI 360 and presented for un-reinforced concrete, reinforced (steel, fibers) concrete, and fiber-reinforced concrete slabs-on-ground, followed by information on shrinkage and curling.
Advantages and disadvantages of these slab design methods will be discussed, including the ability of some slab designs to minimize cracking and curling more than others.
