Abstract:
Describes ACI Committee 360's upcoming state-of-the-art report on design of slabs-on-grade. The guide will focus on the decision-making process of planning, sizing, detailing, and developing specifications that generally precede construction. Consideration of other factors such as materials, construction methods, placement of concrete, and finishing techniques is included to the extent necessary to address design properly. Although the general principles contained in the guide are applicable, the guide does not specifically address the design of highways, airport pavements, parking lots, and mat foundations.
