Reforcement requirements for topping slabs?
(OP)
We're locating equipment on top of an existing slab. The existing floor slab is 6'4" thick with an 8" non-sloping topping slab on top. The new equipment has the potential to spill and we believe it will be more economical to add another 6" topping slab (sloped) on top of the existing topping slab and cut drainage trenches in the existing topping slab. What is the minimum required reinforcement for this new topping slab? ACI 318 has minimums in section 7.12 but this slab won't be structural.
