From page 29...
... In the pages which follow, factors which influence slabs-onground performance are analyzed and procedures are set forth for the systematic introduction of these parameters into the selection and specification or design of specific slab types. Background information related to these parameters, especially fundamental information on soil behavior and quality control, appears at the end of this report, which it Carl be referred to without causing discontinuities in the presentation of the analytical and design 29
