Surprisingly for me as well. They have already installed the dowels and poured the first 3 ft. They slab only cracked at one locations out of numerous around the pit.
csd72 - Thanks for the replies. What do you mean by saying "putting a lip"? Can you please elaborate? The slab is already...
Thank you all for prompt replies.
I am attaching a sketch here.
skiisandbikes - as shown in the section there is a horizontal rebar at 12" o.c. I believe this should take care of any stress.
I hope the sketch answers a lot of questions and also you will know where this question came...
I have a very basic question. I have a thickened edge and the typical detail always shows to slope the grade at 1:1 from the bottom of the thickened edge to bottom of slab on grade. My questions is why cant this be a straight vertical edge and why does it have to be at 1:1 slope?
