Residential Slab Design
Residential Slab Design
(OP)
A client wants to add a room to his house, but there will require some foundation work. He has a slab on level ground, the addition will require an extension of this slab. Not having much experience in this area, could someone explain how the slab can be extended. Does there need to be any sort of tie back into the existing concrete? The new slab will be carrying loads. A brief description or maybe a title of some literature that I can refrenece would be a great help?
