ACI 360R-10 PDF Download

The ACI 360R-10 standard provides comprehensive information on the design and detailing of slabs, primarily for industrial floors. It starts with an introduction to the design theories, followed by discussions on different types of slabs, soil-support systems, loadings, and jointing methods.

The standard offers design methods for various types of slabs, including unreinforced concrete, reinforced concrete, shrinkage-compensating concrete, post-tensioned concrete, fiber-reinforced concrete, and slabs in refrigerated buildings. It also covers topics such as shrinkage and curling, providing insight into the advantages and disadvantages of different slab design methods. It emphasizes that while efforts can be made to minimize cracking and curling, achieving crack-free and curl-free floors is unrealistic.

The guide provides examples of slab designs to illustrate the concepts discussed.
