Stiffy, have you got an area of the slab (where hoist is going) that is the required thickness?
And if so are they going to set the floor mounting bolts in the concrete or are you going to dyna bolt it down?

Hoist
Boxhead,
the plan is for 3 x 4 posters (2 for storage and one on casters) the 2 poster will be set by dyna bolts. The slab is 150mm and 25MPA.
The inspector is going there today to look at the footings (then the slab company are DOING THERE STUFF). All is under control.

Glad to hear that was organised, would hate to see you try to drill holes for dynabolts only to drill through the slab

And if you want some extra special attention to quality, don't forget those green inducement packages too!!
The standard trades rate of pay - and now it seems Bathurst has made parity on this issue too!!

Stiff,
Its form up the slab
Looking good - hope the rain stays away.
Switch to 40MPA and you'll be right - just may need an extra labourer or two

25mpa
PCC,
It is 25MPA X 150MM thick, 
The 2 poster is in the middle of one of the footings therefore it will be in
500mm of concrete...... SAFE.....

I prefer 8"
PCC,
One layer of F92 plus the stuff in the footings.
You seem to know a bit about concrete, are you in the game??

Yep
Bit bigger pours though - 1,000 m3 not unusual

Stiffy, keep the photos coming, they're great. What are your neighbors unhappy about? Looks good to me. I'd rather have your garage next to me than a couple of gum trees. 
Regards.

2 layers for slab on ground? Where would the tensile force on the top fibres come from? Usually that is used for suspended slabs and on ground designs with dodgy founding soil or funky loading. Residential garage slabs are usually only one layer. You must be used to the bigger stuff!

With F92 mesh and 150mm thick that is easily stong enough for your little daytona.. Unless you and Doug are planning on building a semi also?

Stiff,
I did wonder why you had the temp fencing there 
Zedn,
Its not unusual to include a 2nd layer of mesh in a 150mm or thicker slab especially if there's no added fibres in the concrete mix.
Yes I am used to the bigger stuff, but similar principles apply.
Stiff,
Good tidy job mate!

plastic shrinkage cracking should be minimal in a 25mpa slab, especially in Melbourne. You are correct that it is not unusual to include a top layer of steel, but that is typical in suspended applications. Top steel is generally designed as per AS3600 where required in tensile zones that exist due to max moments in the top fibres near walls, columns, piles etc. It is also used sometimes to assist with tying stirrups for shear reinforcement and as you say control cracking due to early age, plastic cracks etc.
Sorry for getting technical, i am a civil engineer with a sub major in rehabilitation of concrete structures. I kind of get excited by concrete |
