6.8.8.1
Concrete and Foundations:
a. Concrete slabs on ground shall have a minimum thickness of 4 inches. Minimum
reinforcing shall be #3 reinforcing bars at 16" on center or 4x4-w2.9xw2.9 welded
wire reinforcing. The slab reinforcing shall be placed on firm supports 1/3 the slab
depth from the top of slab with a minimum cover of 1-1/2 inches. Fiber
reinforcement in the concrete mix shall not be considered as
replacing the above steel reinforcing.
b. Concrete slabs on ground shall have construction, control or expansion
Joints at maximum spacing of 25 feet in each direction. If special circumstances
