DESIGN OF SLABS-ON-GROUND 360R-19
storage racks may be higher than 80 ft (24 m) and may
produce concentrated post loads of 40,000 lb (180 kN) or
more.
For the higher rack loads, racks that cover a large plan
area (which will affect the deeper soil layers), and racks with
long-term loading, the effect of the long-term soil settlement
should also be considered in the design of the slab. Cracking
can also be caused by early installation
of rack systems that
may restrain the slab and prevent joint activation. The racks
may restrain the slab with the rack system bracing or by the
increase in base friction from additional storage loads.
The concentrated load variables that affect design of the
slab-on-ground are:
• Maximum
or representative post load;
• Duration of load;
• Spacings between posts and aisle width;
• Location of the concentrated load relative to slab joint
location and the amount of shear transfer across the
slab joint; and
• Area of contact between post or post plate and slab.
Material-handling systems are
major parts of the building
layout and should be well defined early in the project. Rack data
can be obtained from the manufacturer. It is not uncommon to
specify a larger base plate than is normally supplied to reduce
the flexural stress caused by the concentrated load.
The base
plate should be sized to distribute the load over the plate area.
