Design ground supported slabs (slabs-on-ground) with steel or fiber reinforcement alone, or a combination with both steel and fiber reinforcement.
Verify the bearing capacity against uniform, line, and point/concentrated loads on all parts of the slab on both soil/ground and/or insulation.
greenSlab includes automatic thermal insulation and CO2 calculations and autogenerated documentation.
A slab/slab-on-ground refers to a type of foundation system that can both provide support to the structure while working as the structural floor for a building or structure. It can be designed to distribute the loads from the superstructure, such as walls, columns, and other elements, over a wide area of the ground and/or insulation.
A slab serves as a structural component that resists vertical loads, including dead/permanent loads (weight of a structure or the building itself) and live loads (occupant loads, furniture, equipment, trucks, etc.). A slab can also help stabilize by transferring horizontal loads, such as wind, to the ground.
A slab is typically reinforced with steel bars or mesh, or fiber reinforcement to enhance its strength and resistance to cracking. The reinforcement helps to control shrinkage and thermal cracking and provides additional capacity to withstand loads and distribute them effectively.
When making a design of a slab with greenSlab, various considerations are analyzed:
Based on these parameters, greenSlab includes:
Beat your friends to it. See when the next program features are up and running, and be the first to optimize your concrete structures with steel and/or fiber reinforcement.
