Design of PT Slabs on Expansive Soil Ground Based on Standards of PTI 3rd Edition
1. DESIGN METHODS
1.1

MAKE SURE THAT THE FOUNDATION PLAN SATISFIES THE SHAPE FACTOR REQUIREMENT:
SF = (ENTIRE FOUNDATION PERIMETER) / (ENTIRE FOUNDATION AREA) 24 , (Sec. 4.5.1)

1.2

DIVIDE AN IRREGULAR FOUNDATION PLAN INTO OVERLAPPING RECTANGLES AND USING

THIS SPREADSHEET DESIGN EACH RECTANGULAR SECTION SEPARATELY.

1.3

ONCE THE RIBBED FOUNDATION HAS BEEN DESIGNED TO SATISFY MOMENT, SHEAR, AND
DIFFERENTIAL DEFLECTION REQUIREMENTS, IT MAY BE CONVERTED TO AN EQUIVALENT
UNIFORM THICKNESS FOUNDATION.
