WIDE SLAB CONCRETE FLOOR WITH REDUCED CARBON FOOTPRINT AND METHOD OF MANUFACTURING SAME
A ground-supported concrete slab has a reduced concrete requirement and, in turn, a reduced carbon footprint, while still capable of supporting a desired maximum load. The slab is polygonal in shape, with at least one of its sides being at least fifty feet in length. Each side of the slab is adjacent a corresponding joint. The slab has an edge region, consisting of the portion of the slab disposed within three feet of any joint. Rebar is disposed only within the edge region of the slab. Rebar is preferably placed to form two differently sized, concentric polygons that coincide in shape with the polygonal shape of the slab. The polygons may all be square. The concrete may further include steel fibers distributed throughout the concrete. The slab is formed by providing a suitable form, placing the rebar appropriately, and filling the form with concrete to a desired thickness.
