 Concrete slab size
Due to the end size of my eventual oven my concrete slab size will be at least 88in x 96in. I'm wondering if (1) I should plan on stabilizing the slab with a greater amount of rebar rods than what is recommended in the oven plans, and (2) should make the overall slab thickness greater than is recommended in the oven plans?
With regards to the cement used, do most people just use bagged concrete or do they add aggregate such as gravel? If so what approx. size gravel is used?
FYI, I live in southern Connecticut where winters CAN be hard, however not as of late. Still hard freezes can be expected anytime from DEC thru MAR.
Thank you in advance!
