Thin overlay of concrete slab
Thin overlay of concrete slab
(OP)
I have a lightweight concrete slab on composite steel floor deck in which the contractor experienced some scaling during construction. He's proposing to rough and clean the existing slab and installing a 2" lightweight concrete overlay with a bonding agent. Assuming all the members below are sufficient for the added dead load, is this an acceptable fix?

I would be wary of depending on bonding agent for my capacity.
Also, you might want to double check the f'c of your slab with cores as the scaling may represent problems with your overall slab strength.
