The recommended thickness for structural concrete in a building varies depending on the specific application and design requirements. However, for most structural elements, such as columns, beams, walls, and slabs, the thickness typically ranges from 4 inches to 12 inches or more. The designer of the building will determine the required thickness based on the expected loads and stresses that the concrete will need to support. Additionally, local building codes and regulations may also dictate minimum thickness requirements for structural concrete in a building.
