1. Check local area for availability of other sizes.
2. Loads shown include 50% superimposed dead load and 50% live load. Top tension stress at trans-
fer has been allowed to exceed 6 fc' ; therefore, top reinforcement is required.
Key 3. Loads can be significantly increased by use of structural composite topping.
