Concrete Slab expansion joint
Concrete Slab expansion joint
(OP)
Morning everyone, looking for a bit of advice please.
I’m about to pour a raised (around 400mm high) concrete slab for a patio which is getting tiled with porcelain tiles 600mm x 900mm. The slab is just under 6m by 4m and 6” thick. However all around the edge of the slab will be a box section of the concrete reinforced with rebar and the whole slab will have mesh rebar reinforced. With this size of slab, and the rebar and porcelain tiles, should I put an expansion joint in at all ? The patio is south facing so does get full sun all day in summer.
Thanks in advance for any advice, Kevin.
