Slab on grade design

[SAMO]

When I worked for an oil company, I saw big water tanks that accompany rigs put right on the grade. Now when designing a slab on grade for a warehouse, My boss asks for 8 inches thickness and two layers of reinforcement.

may be for temporary water tanks on grades settlement is not an issue but for a permanent warehouse settlement is critical.
