Concrete classes.

[RETIRED]

Gooday all.

My brother in law is having a house built.

Can some one tell me what class W, class P amd class M concrete slabs are?

Ta muchly.

In realtion to slab foundations (there is no W):

M = moderately reactive clay or silt sites - moderate ground movement from moisture changes

P = soft soils, soft clay, loose sand, collapsing soils or areas subject to errosion, soils subject to abnormal moisture conditions, or sites which don't fit other classifications

Not sure what they mean in relation to the actual slab though ?

Thanks Eastie, kinda figured you would know.

Would love the access to some of the sites you have.

[Eastie]

Happy to help. This is actually one I deal with from week to week.

In realtion to P (problem sites), the slab & foundation must be engineer designed. For other classifications you follow the australian standards & building code.
