(OP)
I typically use 2 layers of rebar in my footings which resist uplift and have been asked not to use upper layer. Does everyone use 2 layers? If not how do you resist top of slab bending during uplift situations?

Another approach with one layer is to position the one level of steel in a footing of sufficient thickness that the steel works fine for uplift or gravity loads.
