Reinforced vs Plain Concrete
It is important to recognize the difference between
reinforced and plain concrete when referring to post-
tensioned or conventionally reinforced concrete slabs-
on-ground. The American Concrete Institute (ACI)
defines reinforcedconcrete as concrete designed to
satisfy the minimum requirements of the code. The
category of plain concrete was developed by ACI to
refer to concrete used in ground supported construction
where loads are light, stresses are low, life safety
concerns are minimal or non-existent and the minimumrequirements for reinforced concrete are not necessary.

Foundations TypesClassified by BRAB Report 33
In 1962, The Building Research Advisory
Board (BRAB) issued Report 33 which
classified residential foundations into fourdesign categories based upon the degree
of severity of the supporting soil:
Type I: Unreinforced
Type II: Lightly Reinforced
Type III: Reinforced and Stiffened
Type IV: Structural

The key-word
is Slab-on-GROUNDGROUND
Slabs-on-Ground are designed to meet aspecific set of soil parameters.
The performance of ANY foundation isdependent up on obtaining accurate soilinformation about the site.

Site Preparation
Strip Site of Organics & Trash
The site should be
initially stripped of all
surface vegetation and
other deleterious
material.

Site Preparation
Compaction tests should be performed on all fill material used
during the site development phase. The quality, as well as the
compaction, of all fill material should be documented.
Fill should exhibit low expansion properties, be free of organicsand other deleterious material, and be compatible with the
existing soil characteristics.
READthe General Notes sheet prepared by the structural
engineer. This sheet may contain special instructions about
specific site preparation requirements.
Contact the structural engineer should anything be unclear or in
question.
