I'm working on a small project where we are replacing a portion of the concrete sidewalk on top of a below grade parking garage. Basically the below grade parking garage extends beyond the face of the building. The concrete sidewalk is bearing on the structural concrete deck. I have two questions regarding the design of the sidewalk:
1. Is welded wire mesh recommended or required for a concrete sidewalk located on top of a structural slab? The existing sidewalk has no reinforcing. I understand there are minimum reinforcement areas required per ACI.
2. Are concrete sealers typically installed on and exterior commercial concrete sidewalk?
