Re: slab thickness
|
Text of the message: |
In a previous post says... > My contractor has specified a 4" thick slab on grade for a new garage > floor. Is this the accepted thickness? I've read that driveways should > be 5" thick and house foundations 8-10" thick. The plans *do* call out > reinforcement. > > Comments? > > For residential structures, I always recommend a 5-inch UNREINFORCED slab on a 6-inch compacted gravel base. Sawcut or tooled crack control joints every 150 square feet max. Unreinforced = no welded wire fabric, no rebar, no fibermesh No amount of reinforcing will prevent cracking. The only thing that will do that is pre-stressed or post-tensioned concrete. -- Bob Morrison, PE, SE R L Morrison Engineering Co Structural & Civil Engineering Poulsbo WA . |
