The following diagram shows a partial floor framing plan of an elevated walkway building connecting an airport terminal building to the adjacent garage. The concrete floor is not post- tensioned. Material properties are: - Concrete weight: wt = 150 pcf - Concrete compressive strength: f'c = 4000 psi - Steel tensile strength: fy = 60 ksi - Stirrup consists of #4 bar - Framing members are not exposed to weather or in contact with soil. Per the ACI, what is the minimum slab depth?
