    I have a question about concrete strength.

    I have a piece of construction equipment that I would like to put into a warehouse.
    The equipment has a ground pressure of 11.4 psi and a ground contact area of
    3173 sq. in. with a total weight of 36,150 lbs.
    If I did the calculations correct a 6″ thick concrete slab should be able
    to support this without a problem of cracking since, from the chart I read a 6″ thick
    slab should be able to support 306 psi. The floor has a minimum thickness
    of 6″ and in some places would be as thick as 12″. Could someone let me know if I
    calculated this right???

    Thank you,
    Phil

    Dear sir,

    can you please explain in brief “why don’t we consider tensile strength of concrete while designing?”& “why there is a assumption in code to ignore tensile strength of concrete?”

    I have asked so many experts about this but they were unable to resolve my query.

    Please explain as early as possible.
    Your early response will very much be appreciated & praised..

    thanks & regards
    Pritam
