RV Concrete Pad Questions
I'm putting together a drawing package for the concrete pad in my upcoming garage and I would like some input.
Per the building drawing package the slab requirement is a 4" X 48'5" l X 20'3" with 12" X 12" footers. It also has a 1.5" X 1.5" sheeting edge. 2500 psi at 26 days. The slab is above grade.
I'm thinking about specifying a coach wt of 45,000 lbs and a max tire loading of 8,000 lbs to give the contractors and idea of what the point load will be.
Is that a good approach as opposed to simply specing the concrete type, thickness, and reinforcing?? After all they should be the experts.
Thanks again for all the valuable input on this project.
