Garage Door Slab Recess Detail

I have the details cd.

Garage door slab recess detail.

Basically you drop the slab about 3 4 at the door area only so that wind driven water will be trapped in this recess. A 6 inch thick slab weighs only about 75 psf and live loads vehicles don t exceed 50 psf in a garage. I was talking about the recess at the garage door only. 16 ft ohd should be 16 ft 1 4 inch opening dimension h is the distance from the corner to the edge of ohd opening.

Opening should be 1 4 to 1 2 inch over. It is good to have a 40mm aggregate concrete base on the soil on which the reinforcement can be placed. Even a low standard soil such as silt or clay easily supports 400psf. Total max loads coming on the garage slab is 125psf.

The large scale detail below shows a cross section through the perimeter of the type 1 garage foundation giving dimensional details and the general placement of reinforcing steel and anchor bolts. In some cases additional footings often a thickened slab are necessary under bearing walls or columns in the center of the slab. I have also seen new construction with the step missing. Wide garage slab should be 23 ft 11 3 4 in dimension g is the overhead door opening in the curb.

Dimension i is the service door opening. We have been garage door specialist for a long time. We will respect your needs your tastes and especially the budget you have fixed. Garage slab learn me.

Yeah if we re going to start from the beginning remove all the organic soil from the slab area and build up subgrade using crushed rock. Lastly we also provide electric garage door openers along with their accessories to answer your everyday needs. Lay down stego wrap and then 2 foamular 250 with a thermal break around the edge. Place the rock 6 at a time and run over it with a plate compactor until your teeth fall out.

The major structural components of a slab on grade foundation are the floor slab itself and either grade beams or foundation walls with footings at the perimeter of the slab see figures 4 2 and 4 3. This eliminates driving rain. See how hard it is to explain verbally. Is it a requirement in new construction.

It usually goes the width of the opening and the width of the jamb and door back into the garage area from the outside of the door.
