Abstract:
Q. Our client is repurposing a warehouse from light storage to heavy storage, but the current slab-on-ground is inadequate for the forklift truck traffic required in the new application. We’re planning to enhance the slab using a topping course with a vapor retarder (membrane) between the two concrete layers. I anticipate that some random cracking may occur. Do you see any other areas of concern?
