Design of Conventional Slabs on Compressible Soil Grade Based on ACI 360 Spreadsheet
A slab-on-grade foundationis a structural engineering practice in which the concrete slab that will serve as the foundation for a building or other structure is formed from a mold that is set into the ground.
Slab on grade is also known as a floating slab foundation.
Solid Slabs are fully customizable concrete slabs of varying width, length and thickness.
They can be designed and produced with mild reinforcing or by adding prestressing strands. Solid Slabs can be cast with specialty inserts for lifting, mounting or connecting hardware.
A hollow core slab, also known as a voided slab, hollow core plank or simply a concrete plank is a precast slab of prestressed concrete typically used in the construction of floors in multi-story apartment buildings.
