Concrete slab around an interior pool

[WWTEng]

An existing interior pool, several decades old. The owner wants to replace the slab around the pool because it has deteriorated a little bit and the architect wants to ground the reinforcement for the slab. Can this slab be a regular 5" slab on grade with rebar or is there something special about the concrete mix/rebar/vapor retarder etc that we need to address.

Thanks.

As far as the mix goes: Conform to the ACI 350, and you will be good for durability.

Don't forget the isolation joint between the slab and the pool structure!

In Russia building design you!
