Slab on the ground

The slab on the ground is constructed similar to the stiffened raft, however, it does not require internal stiffening beams and can only be constructed on Class A or Class S sites.

Diagram of a section showing slab on ground design. The concrete slab rests on top a vapour barrier and bedding sand with two beams (300 mm) on either side.
