HI
I am looking at doing a strip drain along the edge of a bondek suspended slab, which goes around the edge of the pool on 2 sides
Is this possible? Would it compromise the structural strength of the slab, and if it does is there anyway of strengthening the slab to allow the strip drain
Would appreciate a quick reply, as I have started the tiling on this slab and before i go any further i thought it would be a good idea to do a drain to stop the dirt and water flowing into the pool
the pic attached is on the short side of the pool (labelled 2) which is a blockfilled wall supporting that part of the slab
and bondek above
as well as the blockfilled wall (1) which I believe extends all along the long side of the pool supporting the slab
Maybe a structural engineer can do up a paid report if it is possible
Thanking all in advance
david

Ot, 6 years won't be enough Cheers Chris hi Chris can you explain a bit more what are the issues here and why? sorry, a bit ignorant about all these thanks Re: BONDEK SLAB...CUTTING A STRIP DRAIN ALONG EDGE OF SLAB 4May 03, 2020 6:31 pm Designer,Engineer (Civil,Const & Envir),Builder,Concrete & Masonry Contract.Struct Repairs https://plus.google.com/u/3/communities ... 1476023758 21 Sep 2012 8 QLD Junior Member Re: BONDEK SLAB...CUTTING A STRIP DRAIN ALONG EDGE OF SLAB 5May 04, 2020 5:40 pm StructuralBIMGuysorry, Ive just notice it's built The concrete reinforcement is required to have sufficient cover to prevent it from corroding from the pool chlorine /salts adjacent your bondek reinforcement/permanent formwork has no such cover from beneath, you might want to check with lysaght engineers if they recommend it You can xray the slab and locate the reinforcement depth within the concrete if you are unsure if it's not been built correctly before cutting and grinding the slab, also check the engineers notes that accompanied those details cheers Chris Hi Chris thanks so if after an xray, and all seems good, then even though it is suspended, it is still possible to cut a strip drain? would you need any extra re-inforcements at all? thanks again david Re: BONDEK SLAB...CUTTING A STRIP DRAIN ALONG EDGE OF SLAB 6May 06, 2020 6:42 am Designer,Engineer (Civil,Const & Envir),Builder,Concrete & Masonry Contract.Struct Repairs https://plus.google.com/u/3/communities ... 1476023758 19 Dec 2017 93 Loyal Member Re: BONDEK SLAB...CUTTING A STRIP DRAIN ALONG EDGE OF SLAB 7Jul 20, 2020 1:36 am  david123n Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ HI I am looking at doing a strip drain along the edge of a bondek suspended slab, which goes around the edge of the pool on 2 sides Is this possible?
