Edit: Re-read your original post. Are you saying that the walls are going to be built on the basement floor? That is not how it is done around here. We pour a footing, build the walls, then pour the slab after the walls are up. If they are building the walls on top of the floor, how are they tied together? Rebar?
Can you post a picture? |
Don't have a picture at hand but we typically use rebars every foot where the walls will come. These rebars are tied to the steel nets and stick out of the concrete once the slab has been poured. The slab is 10 inches thick with double nets of 10 milimeters thickness.
