Good info. Building requires 3/4” j-bolts for main columns, 5/8” at door openings, 1/2” at walk through door. 6” thick slab and thinking about using a higher psi concrete.
The PE stamping my drawings wants to see 16” centers. I changed my drawings to meet his needs, but the concrete crew knows I want a little more at every step. So I’ll stick with 14”. My drawings will reflect what the PE and city want to see so I can get permit. After that I’ll start going overboard.
No big trucks such as tractor trailers. But I’d like to not worry about a 20,000 lb dozer cracking the slab. I’ll have a typical shop equipment. Also a 2-ton top running bridge crane entire shop length and width.
