Slab thickness is the greatest single factor controlling the load-carry capacity of a slab-on-ground. While other factors including concrete compressive strength, the thickness and quality of the base ...

Composite steel‐concrete slabs represent a successful integration of two distinct materials, combining the tensile strength and ductility of steel with the compressive capacity and durability of ...

The concrete slab can be thought of as the wearing cap for the building pad and base course. A well compacted and smooth subgrade is critical to a successful slab. Slab formwork, jointing details, ...
