Plain cement concrete (PCC) is a fundamental component of building construction, serving to prevent direct contact between reinforcement concrete and soil or water.

Mar 13, 2007 · I will only design a slab that resists uplift by the weight of the slab alone, or I will switch to a reinforced braced slab. I ignore tension in the slab, and friction and bonding …

Sep 19, 2024 · Plain concrete slabs are the most basic type of slab, composed entirely of concrete without any reinforcements. These slabs are typically poured on-site and serve as …

Unreinforced, plain concrete slabs (i.e. slabs without distributed steel or structural reinforcement) offer advantages of economy as well as ease and speed of construction.

Therefore, the 6” unreinforced concrete slabs on grade has higher flexural capacity than the combined effect of the applied moments in the X and Y-Directions.
