ACI 360 Definition:
A slab, supported by ground, whose main purpose is to support the applied loads by bearing on the ground.
(1992 whose total loading when uniformly distributed would impart a
pressure to the grade or soil that is less than 50% of the allowable bearing capacity thereof.)
A Slab on Grade is

Concrete Slabs on Grade Type 1 Engineering
Sufficient for light duty projects. Offices, light commercial, residential, etc. Slab on grade is primarily a walking surface.
Standard concrete specification and a note on the building plan.
Type 2 Engineering Projects where grade slabs perform heavy lifting
Industrial applications (forklifts, machinery loads, etc.) Warehouses (critical joint detailing, storage racks, etc.) Expansive soils / significant frost depths Exterior / Aggressive Environments Brittle low-crack-tolerance flooring

Notes on General Guidelines
** For loads in excess of 500 psf, use at least 3000 psi quality controlled concrete, and investigate subsoil conditions with extra care. Fill material and compaction should be equivalent to ordinary highway practice. If laboratory control of compaction is available, the load capacities can be increased in the ratio of the actual compaction coefficient, k, to 100.
For loads in excess of 1500 psf, the subsoil conditions should be investigated
with extra care and subbase should provide k 200. Place first layer 2 inches below top of slab; second layer 2 inches above
bottom of slab. Information taken from Concrete Reinforcing Steel Institute Handbook
(CRSI), 1984, pg 13-61.

International Building Code What Applies?
non-structural and structural concrete
Non-structural the design and construction of slabs on grade shall not be governed by this chapter except Section 1910 Minimum Slab Provisions Section 1904 Durability Structural Slabs on Grade: transmitting vertical loads or lateral
forces from other parts of the structure to the soil.
Structural concrete shall be designed and constructed in accordance with IBC Chapter 19 Concrete ACI 318 as amended by section 1908.
10
-
International Building Code Section 1910 Minimum Slab Provisions
Thickness not less than 3.5 inches, and
Either 6-mil minimum polyethylene vapor retarder
Joints lapped 6 inches Between base course or subgrade and floor slab
Or Other approved equivalent method or materials to
control vapor transmission
Type 1 Engineering check!
11
-
International Building Code Section 1904 Durability Requirements
Concrete Strength and W/C Ratio Must Conform to ACI 318 Based on Exposure
Exposure to Freeze/Thaw in moist condition or deicers Exposure to Sulfates in water or soil Exposure to water when low permeability is required Exposure to chlorides when concrete is reinforced:
Deicing chemicals Salt Saltwater Brackish water Seawater
No Problem for most Type 1 projects! 12
-
This Code does not govern design and construction of slabs-
on-ground, unless the slab transmits vertical loads or lateral
forces from other portions of the structure to the soil.
and additionally
13
ACI 318 Section 1.1.7
-
IBC 2009 The Construction Documents for structural concrete construction shall include:
A statement if slab on grade is designed as a structural diaphragm for structures assigned to Seismic Design Category D, E, or F.
and
ACI 318 - Drawings, Details, and specifications shall show: Statement if slab-on-ground is designed as a structural
diaphragm (21.12.3.4)

ACI 360 The Slab on Grade...
May be of uniform or variable thickness,
May include stiffening elements such as ribs or beams,
May be constructed of plain unreinforced concrete,
May be conventionally reinforced or prestressed for
the effects of shrinkage and temperature and/or
structural loadings.
(The slab on grade may be all of these things; Structural or Non-Structural.)

Slabs on Grade Types ACI 360 A Plain (unreinforced) concrete slabs B Reinforced to limit crack widths due to Shrinkage,
Temperature, and Applied Loads Mild Steel Bars Wire Reinforcement (WWR or WWF) Fiber Reinforcement

Temperature, and Applied Loads Shrinkage compensating concrete Post Tensioned

More opportunity for curling and joint deterioration Flatness and Levelness may decrease over time
Subgrade Uniformity and Drying Shrinkage Extremely Critical
-
Type B Reinforced to Limit Cracking Thickness Design Can be the Same as for Unreinforced
Slabs
Reinforcing Does Not Add Significantly to the Load Carrying Capacity of the Type B Slab
Reinforcement (Bars or WWF) Placed in Upper of Slab
Thickness Nominal reinforcement to limit crack widths between joints Reinforced for structural capacity at a cracked section
Assumed to Remain Uncracked in Service May have many, closely spaced, fine cracks.
Cement Type I or II
Joint Spacing Greater than Type A. Based on Thickness and Subgrade Computed using Subgrade Drag Equation

Type C Reinforced to Prevent Cracking
Shrinkage Compensating Concrete (ACI 223)
ASTM C 845 Type K Cement or Separate Expansive Admixture
Reinforcement of 0.15% to 0.2% in Upper of Thickness of
Slab to Limit Initial Slab Expansion and to Restrain the Subsequent Drying Shrinkage
Detailed to be isolated from fixed portions of the structure for
both initial expansion and drying / temperature shrinkage Wider Construction Joint Spacing than Type A Slab (40 to
150 feet)

Type C Reinforced to Prevent Cracking Post Tensioned Control Cracking with Minimum
Precompression, or Provide Active Prestress to resist

Type D Structural Slab on Grade Designed for Code Defined Factored Loads
Design Governed by ACI 318 Reinforced with mild steel or post-tensioning tendons
Cracked Section for mild steel design.
PT design as cracked or uncracked. (minimum mild steel?)
Designed per Chapter 22 Plain Structural Concrete
Uncracked Section
Position and Detailing of Reinforcement Important
Joint Spacing Typically for Construction Process Reinforcing index typically higher; thus smaller well distributed cracks.

PCA Method Example 1 Post Load
(PCA Axle Load Charts)
Given: Service Load = 12,000 lbs (equivalent to 24k axle load) Base Plate = 12 x 12 Subgrade Modulus = 150 pci Fc = 3,000 psi Safety Factor = 2.0 Poissons Ratio, = 0.15
36
Calculated Variables: Modulus of Rupture, fr = 411 psi Allowable Stress = 205 psi Stress/1000lb axle = 205/24 = 8.5 psi / 1 k axle (set wheel spacing to 3l, iterative process)
-
37
Iterative Solution: Thickness = 8.5
Explanation: s > 3l check at 8.5, l = 32.3 3l = 96.9 OK Selection of small s will yield a large t, corresponding to a larger 3l, and require iteration.

WRI Method (Wire Reinforcement Institute)
Nomographs Utilized to Solve for Slab Thickness
Developed based on a discrete element computer modeling of a slab continuum on a Winkler foundation (soil as linear springs).
3 step iterative process
1st solves for relative stiffness of system based on material and subgrade properties and assumed slab thickness
2nd uses stiffness parameter and loading geometry to solve for slab moment
3rd uses slab moment and Modulus of Rupture/Safety Factor to give required slab thickness
38

WRI Method Example 2 Post Load (single axle wheel charts)
39
Given: (same for comparison) Service Load = 12,000 lbs Base Plate = 12 x 12 Subgrade Modulus = 150 pci Fc = 3,000 psi Safety Factor = 2.0 Poissons Ratio, = 0.15
Calculated Variables: Modulus of Rupture, f r = 411 psi Allowable Stress = 205 psi Ec = 57,000 sqrt(fc) = 3122 ksi Set s = 96 based on l from Example 1

-
Shrinkage Crack Control
The presence of reinforcing steel will not prevent conventional Portland cement concrete from cracking due to shrinkage of the concrete as it hydrates, dries out, and hardens.
Shrinkage cracking is caused by the restraint to shrinkage which is predominantly related to the materials of the concrete mix, the roughness of the base upon which the slab is placed, and the effectiveness of the curing process.
The steel, while not preventing such cracking, will hold the cracks tight (hairline), maintaining aggregate interlock, and mitigating faulting of the slab.
