Design of Heavy Duty Concrete Floor Slabs on Grade: 3 PDH
$18.00 Add to cartThis course describes the criteria for the design of concrete floor slabs on grade in buildings for heavy loads. Concrete floor slabs on grade are often subjected to heavy loads in buildings such as wall loads, stationary live loads and moving loads. The entire design procedure is based on a working stress concept. This course will provide the student with the criteria needed to design concrete floor slabs on grade subjected to heavy loads. Design examples are shown to aid in understanding the course material.Instructor: Raymond Bosek, PEThis course describes the criteria for the design of concrete floor slabs on grade in buildings for heavy loads.
