Each gauge represents a nominal decimal range.
Manufacturers express the thickness of metal panels as their gauge with 22 gauge being the thickest and 29 gauge the thinnest of traditionally sold metal roof and wall panels.
To prepare the base cut the ground level to the proper depth to allow for the slab thickness.
5 to 6 inches is recommended if the concrete will receive occasional heavy loads such as motor homes or garbage trucks.
Methods used for finding slab thickness varies for different types of slabs.
The thickness of conventional slab is 4 or 10cm.
The values for dead loads in table 3 2 are for commonly used materials and constructions in light frame residential buildings.
Exact specifications vary but most concrete roofs are several inches thick.
Dead loads consist of the permanent construction material loads comprising the roof floor wall and foundation systems including claddings finishes and fixed equipment.
Slab on ground 1 4 minimum thickness of diaphragms.
