Slab Recommendations
Slab Recommendations
(OP)
Designing a 50x100 wood framed, one story, slab-on-grade furniture store. The slab will be floating (i.e. not restrained by the foundation walls).
The owner will not be using a forklift or installing storage racks. Would it make sense to use anything more than a 4" slab?
I was going to propose 4" with 6x6 W2.0 wire and control joints around 16'-8" o/c.
Also, does anyone have any standard thickness and reinf. info for a dumpster pad?
Thanks

I typically don't spec fibermesh as I don't feel that it does anything. Rebar or properly placed WWM seem to do better.
