Minimum & standard concrete slab thickness for parking

Minimum & standard concrete slab thickness for parking, Hi guys in this article we know about slab thickness for parking | minimum concrete slab thickness for parking | maximum concrete slab thickness for parking | standard concrete slab thickness for parking | nominal slab thickness for parking | slab thickness for parking as per IS code 456: 2000.

One of the more popular uses for concrete garages parking is storage of vehicles, aside from parking, is a workshop. From wood working to welding and everything in between, a concrete parking can be the perfect place to work on various projects.

Determine the thickness of slab for parking, concrete floor structure first you should to figure out total load ,what kind of concrete slab you have needed, it is concentrated load or spread load all over the slab, there is a different rules for finding the thickness of slab for parking structure.

Construction structure concrete slab needs proper designs, grade of Steel, grade of concrete should be used to poured the concrete to make the floor slab. If you are confusing with acting load it is light medium or heavy take the help of architectural engineer better to calculate and make design of floor slab according to the load and span of floor slab.

You know that thickness of concrete floor slab depends on load acting on it and its span, whether it is concentrated load or is spread all over the slab, type of construction structure.

According to loading condition on concrete floor slab and their span, there is a choice to choose thickness of floor slab as proper design, but in this article using some basic thumb rules, regulation and guideline as per ACI code and IS code 456:2000 to find out minimum and standard thickness of concrete slab for parking.

Using some basic thumb rules, regulation and guideline as per ACI code and IS code 456:2000, suggesting, for Car parking/truck/Bus/ motorcycle/ heavy vehicles/parking, thickness of concrete slab ranging between 4″ to 12″ (100mm to 300mm), minimum thickness of 4 inch to 6 inch is suitable for concrete parking that carry light vehicles like car/motorcycles, For carrying bigger and medium vehicles, the minimum thickness of the concrete parking can be 6″ to 8″ (150mm to 200mm), For carrying bigger and heavy vehicles/equipment, the minimum thickness of the concrete parking can be incresed upto 10″ to 12″ (250mm to 300mm) thick.

There is no standard thickness mention in IS Code, but I recommend to use standard thickness of concrete slab for light weight vehicles/ motorcycle/car parking can be is 6 inch (150mm) thick, standard thickness of concrete slab for medium weight vehicles/ truck/Bus parking can be is 10 inch (250mm) thick and standard thickness of concrete slab for heavy weight/equipmen/ parking can be 12 inch (300mm) thick.

Minimum & standard concrete slab thickness for parking

Concrete slab thickness for parking depends on material, Engineering, load acting on it and span, it need proper design, what kind of material should be used, concreting material, Steels and other materials resist environmental factor, good and sound floor slab should be needed.

Slab thickness for parking:- using some basic thumb rules, regulation and guideline as per ACI code and IS code 456:2000, for concrete floor, concrete slab thickness for parking is kept 4 inch to 12″ (100mm to 300mm), providing minimum concrete grade M10 to M15 and mesh bar embedded in concrete, 2″ deep from top of floor slab.

Minimum slab thickness for parking:- using some basic thumb rules, regulation and guideline as per ACI code and IS code 456:2000, for concrete floor, minimum concrete slab thickness for light weight vehicle, parking is kept 4 inch (100mm) thick, for medium weight vehicle, parking is kept 6 inch (150mm) thick and heavy weight vehicle, parking is kept 8 inch (200mm) thick, providing minimum concrete grade M10 to M15 and mesh bar should be embedded in concrete, 2″ deep from top of floor slab.

Maximum slab thickness for parking:– using some basic thumb rules, regulation and guideline as per ACI code and IS code 456:2000, for concrete floor, maximum concrete slab thickness for parking is kept 12 inch (300mm), providing maximum concrete grade M10 to M20 and mesh bar should be embedded in concrete, 2″ deep from top of floor slab.

Standard slab thickness for parking:- there is no standard thickness mention in IS Code, but using some basic thumb rules, regulation and guideline, I recommend to use for concrete floor, standard concrete slab thickness for parking is kept 8 inch (200mm) thick, providing standard concrete grade M10 to M20 and mesh bar should be embedded in concrete, 2″ deep from top of floor slab.

Nominal slab thickness for parking:- there is no nominal thickness mention in IS Code, but using some basic thumb rules, regulation and guideline, I recommend to use for concrete floor, nominal concrete slab thickness for parking is kept 4″ to 12 inch (100mm to 300mm) thick, providing nominal mix concrete grade M10 to M20 and mesh bar should be embedded in concrete, 2″ deep from top of floor slab.

How thick should be a Slab be for a parking? using some basic thumb rules, regulation and guideline as per ACI code and IS code 456:2000, for concrete floor, It should be 4″ to 12″ (100mm to 300mm) thick concrete slab for parking, providing minimum concrete grade M10 to M15 and mesh bar embedded in concrete, 2″ deep from top of floor slab.

Garage parking:- If the garage is used for parking, then for parking garage, thickness of concrete slab ranging between 4 inch to 12 inch (100mm to 300mm) thick, for light weight vehicles like car/ motorcycles parking in garage, it could be 4 inch to 6 inch thick, for medium weight vehicles like truck/ buses parking in garage, it could be 6 to 8 inch thick and for heavy vehicles/ equipment parking in garage, it could be 8 to 12 inch thick.
