Concrete roof slab thickness.
5 to 6 inches is recommended if the concrete will receive occasional heavy loads such as motor homes or garbage trucks.
In general 6 inch 150mm slab thickness is considered for residential and commercial buildings with reinforcement details as per design.
Reinforced concrete slabs are heavier and generate higher seismic forces in an event.
Methods used for finding slab thickness varies for different types of slabs.
Bottom bars 2 3 two sides.
Such slabs left unconnected to walls caused many deaths in the 2005 quake from school roof collapses.

Total no of bars 12 2 3 2 3 24nos.
If reinforced concrete were to be reused strong connections would have to be made between roof and walls.
Thickness of concrete slab depends on loads and size of the slab.
Design process includes proper assumption of structural element sizes and then check the suggested dimensions to make sure that it meets the requirements of the design.
Joints between adjacent precast concrete slabs need not be considered in calculating the slab thickness provided that a concrete topping not less than 1 inch 25 mm thick is used.
A concrete slab is a common structural element of modern buildings consisting of a flat horizontal surface made of cast concrete.
For example we build residential in flat plate concrete which will typically have a column spacing of 20 oc and a slab thickness of 8 typ.
Exact specifications vary but most concrete roofs are several inches thick.
For example the florida based company hurricane proof systems offers a 7 inch 18 centimeter slab of concrete in three layers.
Steel reinforced slabs typically between 100 and 500 mm thick are most often used to construct floors and ceilings while thinner mud slabs may be used for exterior paving see below.
Minimum thickness of concrete slab beam column foundation and other structural members is selected to meet the design requirements as per standard codes.
Concrete thickness for flatwork such as slabs on grade and driveways a minimum thickness of four inches is required but increasing the thickness to five inches can add nearly 50 percent to the load bearing capacity.
Commercial is typically steel w a composite deck so you ll have a 5 6 slab sitting on top of steel beams.

Conventional concrete slabs are square in shape and have a length of 4m.
The thickness of conventional slab is 4 or 10cm.
In many domestic and industrial buildings a thick concrete slab supported on foundations or directly on the subsoil is.
With that in mind i ve seen slabs as thick as 16 18 due to column spacing.
Minimum thickness of concrete structural elements based on aci 318 14 irc 2009 is 456 2000 and ubc 1997 is presented.
