reinforcing steel for parking lot pavements

reinforcing steel for parking lot pavements

(OP)
By referring to formula 2-2 of ACI 330R-01 Guide for Design and Construction of Concrete Parking Lots, I receive 0.06 sq inch for a 5 in thick parking pavement. So my question is, do you really need reinforcing steel? Experience always say "properly designed reinforcement should be implemented" though. Any comments? Thanks.

RE: reinforcing steel for parking lot pavements

No. Light duty pavements generally do not need reinforcing steel. Provide proper crack control and load transfer.
