Building a shop
I ordered a 30x40 metal building a month or so ago. Received the call yesterday that its being released to the shop for fabrication. Going to have 15 eves, a 16x12 door to the north, 12x12 to the south, and 8x10 to the east with a 3070 walk through on the north also.
Need some help on the slab detail as I have to meet wind storm code for coastal county.
To start, whats a good spacing for rebar throughout the slab? 14, 16, 18? My concrete contractor said 14 with #3 bars, just want another opinion.
Perimeter beams will be 12x24 with a pier at each corner and a pier in the center of the beam on the 40 length to support the metal column from the building. Ill eventually have a 2 ton bridge crane running throughout the entire shop. Should I up to a 12x30 perimeter beam for added strength? What size rebar for the beams? Contractor says #5.
Are 3/4 J-bolts sufficient to anchor the metal columns?
More questions to come as work progresses.

What you looking to put in the shop? 14inch on center with bars isnt bad if going to have big trucks go closer. Also how thick of cement? We did 5-6 inch in our shop. 3/4 jbolts should work but ask what the building company wants.

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 Ill stick with 14. My drawings will reflect what the PE and city want to see so I can get permit. After that Ill start going overboard.
No big trucks such as tractor trailers. But Id like to not worry about a 20,000 lb dozer cracking the slab. Ill have a typical shop equipment. Also a 2-ton top running bridge crane entire shop length and width.

Lots of much needed rain over the past week. Which in turn has put a halt on my slab preparation work. Those guys have some digging ahead of them to clean out the areas that are washing in. Forecast for this coming week looks wet also. Ill take it.

Building a shop
I called the power company out Monday to check out some exposed wire running next to my building and connecting to my temporary power pole. After further inspection, all the wire coming from the main power lines had the same issue. Gaps in the installation. So the guy cut my power and said he would send a two man crew out to run me new lines. Down side is its raining here all week, so power might be out for several days. At least temps are cooler.
