Am helping a guy that insists on placing the edge of his slab about 4 inches over and away from his footing. I can't convince him that it will create a breaking of the slab hazard at the point were the footing going down and the slab continuing ends. The weight of the building will be on that after all. Am I wrong?
Clever design - cutting the footing out of the compacted base rock. This system would seem to keep more of the base materials from sloughing down into the footer trench and addresses the difficulties I have foreseen in monolithic pours. - Your teaching style offers many details of good construction practices in and eloquent style. Excellent presentation. Thank you. - You recommend 3/4 gravel base and it seems to compact and hold shape well. I assume you have you considered road base as an alternative. I would think the various particle sizes of fines in road base would tend to make the compaction more stable. Is the choice economically based - road base being more expensive.

why not put insulation around the outside AND under the slab? frost protected shallow foundation
I want to build a 100 sq ft shed pad, about 12 inch of fill, can i use 5/8 crusher run for my base? im in a frost freeze area.

like. your footing is suppoed to go roughly 600mm into good existing ground, not 100mm into gravel that u previously added
I don't like the Way you make the footing.. Not deep enough... It's not a real footing it's just a floating slab?
No
Double no.
Wrong!!!! This guy hasn't a clue what he's doing. FAIL
Insulation and where did you buy it ?
