Is a slab depression considered a reentrant corner?
Is a slab depression considered a reentrant corner?
(OP)
I have a slab-on-grade foundation system with several depressions for showers. Are these drops (3" drop in an 8" thick slab) considered re-entrant corners?
I have re-inforced for potential vertical cracks across the drop, but am concerned about possible re-entrant corner issues.
Do I need to reinforce for this?
Thanks.

Is there anyway you could gradually depress the slab...slope it down towards the depressions? This might help alleviate the issue.

The 8" slab thickness will be maintained across the drop location with slab reinforcing draped across the drop (#4 @ 12" O.C. Ea. Way Top & Bottom).
See attached for visual.
Given this image, do you still think the #3 corner bar is necessary?
Thanks.

If it was my detail, I would probably throw it in there.
