Safety Levels in Concrete Slabs-on-Grade

Silfwerbrand, Johan

Abstract Concrete pavements and industrial concrete floors are two examples on slabs-on-grade. None of them is considered as a load-carrying structure and is therefore not designed according to codes for structural concrete. These codes are based on probabilistic concepts and prescribed values of probability of failure. Concrete pavements and industrial concrete floors are designed differently but has in common that neither safety level nor probability of failure, severe cracking or other malfunction are included in the design. The safety levels in concrete pavements and industrial concrete floors designed according to Swedish practice are discussed in this Paper. Proposals for improvements and further research are given.
