Hi Guys,
Any clarification would be very much appreciated.
Having dug footings for a conservatory the soil being heavy with clay to a depth of 90cm and to a width of 60cm I am ready to order the concrete which I am going to specify to a depth of 25cm on which to build the dwarf wall.
Having been surfing the net I am now confused as to the need for steel reinforcement to be placed in the strip before concrete is poured, as I now understand some concretes come with fibre reinforcement (?), is this the case, is this instead of using the steel mesh reinforcement?
Additionally I have read that you should make a hardcore base with sand seed before pouring the concrete, is this necessary for a strip foundation? I can understand such with a concrete path however its given me cause for concern (sleepless nights)?
Any help much appreciated.
Cheers Steve
