Quick question: in a warehouse floor, what governs the slab thickness — the forklift or the racking?
Most engineers would back the forklift - heavy, moving, dynamic load.
But in the design shown here, racking won. Static post loads at 50 kN, spaced 2m × 2m, drove a thicker slab than anything the forklift could throw at it.
If you'd designed for the forklift and stopped there, you'd have under-sized the slab.
This is exactly why running every load case matters — and why doing it by hand in a spreadsheet is so risky. One missed case, one wrong assumption about which load governs, and you're either over-designing (and losing the job) or under-designing (and wearing the consequence).
Mi Concrete Design runs all load cases simultaneously and flags the governing one automatically — for both interior and edge conditions. Full CCAA T48 calcs, every equation visible, every chart shown. No black box.
🎯 Accurate — CCAA T48 compliant
🧮 Transparent — every calculation and chart visible
🛡️ Reliable — data-driven, defensible outputs
