I'm going to pour a concrete slab 10' X 15'. Its purpose is to provide a secure pad for a rectangular shaped 3000 pound water boiler that will be holding 400 gallons of water(3,340 lbs) max. while boiling it off. The question has to do with thickness of the pour, rebar size and lay pattern. Three thousand pounds of the unit plus 3,340 pounds of water... let's round the maximum total weight the pad will ever need to support, up to 7,000 lbs.
So how thick should the pad be, what size rebar size and lay pattern would be necessary to support the given maximum weight, or how would I calculate it?
