Re: Structural Evaluation of Specific Components of a Residential Concrete Slab
Deck in the Building Known as Sutton Pond Condominiums, North Andover,
MA
Dear Mr. Wright,
As requested, on July 29, 2008, I visited Sutton Pond Condominiums, North Andover,
MA to observe a specific damaged reinforced concrete slab deck and offer my opinion as
to the cause of the damage and to recommend action to be taken to remedy the situation.
This evaluation will address the indicated damaged deck only and assumes that the entire
building is in structural compliance of the Massachusetts Building Code. No drawings of
the decks were available, so this evaluation was performed utilizing observations only.
Findings
The quadrilateral shaped 5" thick cantilevered slab deck extends out from the building face
5'-0". Approximately three square feet of a corner of the concrete slab has been removed
leaving the reinforcement in place. This was reportedly performed because that portion of
the slab had cracked to a degree that it presented a hazard. With the exposed
reinforcement, it was easy to determine that the structural reinforcement for the cantilever
structure (perpendicular to the building face) was#6 bars at 8" on center as the top
reinforcement with#4 bars at 12" on center on the bottom The out of plane
reinforcement (parallel to the building face) was#3 bars at 12"top and bottom.
The difficulty I see with the slab design is to maintain adequate concrete cover of the
reinforcement with only a 5" thick slab. ACI-318 requires 2"of reinforcement concrete
cover against forms or slab tops. The cumulative reinforcement thickness alone amounts
to 2". Therefore, to meet minimum requirements, the slab should have been 6"thick and
that assumes that the top and bottom reinforcement mats bear on one another. Efficient
top and bottom reinforcement mats have a vertical dimension between them sufficient
enough to place one mat in tension and the other in compression. However, it should be
noted that the slab to building interface was observed to be sound and not structurally
compromised. The exposed reinforcement was in very good shape and the quantity is
more than adequate to support live and dead loads for the deck as long as the full
development of the#6 reinforcement bars is realized, meaning that the#6 bars extend an
adequate depth into the interior building slab. This appears to be the case.

RMX Ll. 08102.01

It is my opinion that there are two possible factors that lead to the concrete deterioration.
It is surmised that the top of the slab developed a crack(s) which allowed water to
infiltrate the slab. Any freeze/thaw phenomenon would lead to increased cracking and
concrete spawling and separating. It is also possible that the deck was overloaded or at
some point subject to a dynamic load which caused significant deflection also causing
cracks. Either one or both of these outside factors coupled with the minimal concrete
coverage of the reinforcement likely lead to additional deterioration of the concrete.
Recommendations
All remaining loose concrete should be chiseled off and the chiseled face cleaned. The
face should be treated with a"Weld Crete" or similar concrete bonding enhancer. The
missing slab area should be formed up to complete the 5"thick slab. The exposed
reinforcement should be cleaned of corrosion, etc. and tied together with wire to assure
that the bulk of the reinforcement will favor the middle of the slab depth with some
deference to the slab top. Higher strength concrete(4000 PSI or better) should be placed
with maximum aggregate size %". The top of the slab should maintain a slight pitch to
avoid ponding. ACI-318 (American Concrete Institute) requirements should be followed
during placement and curing to assure proper concrete strength and properties.
After proper curing, the top of the slab should be cleaned thoroughly and sealed with an
accepted outdoor concrete sealer. It is also recommended that all exterior decks in the
complex be cleaned and sealed to minimize similar future occurrences on other decks.
It is recommended that Phelan Engineering or a suitable agent be employed to visit the site
during the reconstruction process to assure an acceptable structure is obtained.
Please call if you have any questions.

Information and Instructions
Massachusetts General Laws chapter 152 requires all employers to provide workers' compensation for their employees.
Pursuant to this statute,an employee is defined as"...every person in the service of another under any contract of hire,
express or implied,oral or written."
An employer is defined as"an individual,partnership,association,corporation or other legal entity,or any two or more
of the foregoing engaged in a joint enterprise,and including the legal representatives of a deceased employer,or the
receiver or trustee of an individual,partnership,association or other legal entity,employing employees. However the
owner of a dwelling house having not more than three apartments and who resides therein, or the occupant of the
dwelling house of another who employs persons to do maintenance,construction or repair work on such dwelling house
or on the grounds or building appurtenant thereto shall not because of such employment be deemed to be an employer."
MGL chapter 152, §25C(6)also states that"every state or local licensing agency shall withhold the issuance or
renewal of a license or permit to operate a business or to construct buildings in the commonwealth for any
applicant who has not produced acceptable evidence of compliance with the insurance coverage required."
Additionally, MGL chapter 152,§25C(7)states"Neither the commonwealth nor any of its political subdivisions shall
enter into any contract for the performance of public work until acceptable evidence of compliance with the insurance
requirements of this chapter have been presented to the contracting authority."
