Concrete Floor Slabs on Grade Subjected to Heavy Loads

This course prescribes the criteria for the design of concrete floor slabs on grade in buildings for heavy loads and is applicable to all elements responsible for military construction. Heavy loads in buildings such as warehouses include moving loads, stationary live loads, and wall loads.
Theoretical concepts, practical applications, basis of design, and design procedures for heavy loads are discussed in this manual. For design criteria outside the scope of this manual, industry standards are recommended.
