5" Concrete garage floor over wood frame?
5" Concrete garage floor over wood frame?
(OP)
Many times I saw 1.5" concrete topping over plywood and wood frame called out for townhome or condo. I never saw 5" concrete of (2) cars garage floor over a plywood and wood frame floor. Have anyone ever call out 5" concrete on top plywood and wood frame before?
TIA

I trust that the plywood is acting as formwork only.

One of the major problems is that wood creeps, so over time the deflection due to dead load will almost double.
