Minimum thickness of concrete slab beam column foundation and other structural members is selected to meet the design requirements as per standard codes.
Reinforced concrete roof thickness.
Problems have been identified with the reinforced concrete r c roof slabs over the pump houses that serve bulk fuel installations bfi at some establishments.
There are too many variables at play to give a definitive answer.
So the recommended criteria for the minimum quality of the concrete to be used in an exposed concrete.
A suspended slab or structural slab spans between supports and must be reinforced to resist bending moments calculated from statics based on the magnitude of load and span.
For example the florida based company hurricane proof systems offers a 7 inch 18 centimeter slab of concrete in three layers.
It is believed that the design dates from c 1960 and was used upto the mid 1990s for which the r c.
Design process includes proper assumption of structural element sizes and then check hellip.

The intensity of a tornado is an act of nature that is not amenable to being controlled by human measures.
A slab on ground is supported on the subsoil and is usually reinforced with reinforcing bars or welded wire mesh.
Strength of the concrete.
Exact specifications vary but most concrete roofs are several inches thick.

Span of the roof between columns.
A concrete slab is a structural feature usually of constant thickness that can be used as a floor or a roof.
The thickness of concrete is an important factor in load bearing strength but to conserve resources and avoid over building other factors are also taken into consideration.
