Analysis of reinforced concrete slabs on grade in industrial buildings

Aim： A parametric study was conducted to investigate the theoretical behaviour of industrial slab on grade to industrial trucks with single wheel axles loading Objective： 1. Applying NLFEA to study the structural response of industrial slab on grade to lift trucks with single wheel axle loading 2. The studied parameters were the load position in relation to slab edges, slab proportions, reinforcement content and its method of arrangement, and the modulus of subgrade reaction 3. The subgrade was represented by boundary spring elements of a non tension feature to simulate the soi
