Quotes

Reader inquiry: "I recently read the article by Kim Basham regarding placement of reinforcing in slabs on grade. I would be interested in an article regarding placement of reinforcing in slabs when in-floor heating tubes are required. Tubes generally are placed on top of the reinforcing and allow for only 1 inch of cover at best. Then there are joint issues and sawing issues. What are the best practices? I have increased slab depth, etc., to accommodate the reinforcing; is there anything else thatcan or should be done?"
