302.1R-04: Guide for Concrete Floor and Slab Construction
Learn how to produce high-quality concrete slabs-on-ground and suspended floors for various classes of service. This guide contains recommendations for controlling random cracking and edge curling caused by the concrete’s normal volume change. Additionally, this guide emphasizes aspects of construction such as site preparation, concreting materials, concrete mixture proportions, concreting workmanship, joint construction, load transfer across joints, form stripping procedures, finishing methods, and curing. Flatness/ levelness requirements and measurements are also outlined. Available in hard copy or PDF format. $105.50 (ACI members $64.00). Order Code: 302104.EM.
302.2R-06: Guide for Concrete Slabs that Receive Moisture-Sensitive Flooring Material
This guide contains materials, design, and construction recommendations for concrete slabs-on-ground and suspended slabs that are to receive moisture-sensitive flooring materials. These flooring materials include sheet rubber, epoxy coatings, vinyl composition tile, sheet vinyl, carpet, athletic flooring, laminates, and hardwood. Chapters 1 through 8 provide an understanding of concrete moisture behavior and drying, and show how recommended construction practices can contribute to the successful performance of floor covering materials. This background provides a basis for the recommendations in Chapter 9 to improve performance of floor covering materials in contact with concrete moisture and alkalinity. Available in hard copy or PDF format. $70.50 (ACI members $42.00). Order Code: 302206.EM
360R-06: Design of Slabs on Ground
This document presents information on the design of slabs-on-ground—primarily industrial floors. The report addresses the planning, design, and detailing of slabs. Background information on design theories is followed by discussion of the types of slabs, soil-support systems, loadings, and jointing. Design methods are given for unreinforced concrete, reinforced concrete, shrinkage-compensating concrete, post-tensioned concrete, fiber-reinforced concrete slabs-on-ground, and slabs-on-ground in refrigerated buildings, followed by information on shrinkage and curling problems. Advantages and disadvantages of each of these slab designs are provided, including the ability of some slab designs to minimize cracking and curling more than others. Design examples appear in an appendix. Available in hard copy or PDF format. $92.50 (ACI members $54.00). Order Code: 36006.EM.
