Concrete patios are generally adjacent to the building itself. Proper preparation o <br />concrete patios is extremely important. Improper compaction or preparation will <br />settlement of the paving that are not acceptable. It is required that all areas for coi <br />excavated 12 inches and recompacted to the proper density as described above. <br />CITY OF SANTA ANA <br />Plannin and Building Agency <br />1602 �V Brook St <br />Santa Ana CA 92703 <br />Approved <br />FORD �RMIT ISSUANCE <br />the are;rmit cracks and <br />;Mgg#*s be <br />Date: <br />Floor Slabs <br />The concrete slab design shall be in accordance with the provisions of Cal Green 2022. <br />It is recommended that concrete floor slabs in areas to be covered with moisture sensitive <br />coverings, be constructed over a 10 mil plastic membrane. The plastic membrane should be <br />properly lapped, sealed, and protected with 2 inches of sand. <br />At a minimum, the floor slab shall be reinforced with # 4 reinforcing bars placed 18 inches on center <br />throughout the entire slab and shall be placed in the center of a 5 inch slab. The subgrade soils tend to <br />dry out prior to placing the floor slab, therefore, prior to placing concrete, the sub -grade soils shall be <br />remoisturized to 90 % of optimum moisture to a depth of 12 inches. <br />Driveways and Parking Areas <br />Asphalt paving shall be a minimum of 2 inches of/z inch maximum aggregate asphalt over 4 inches of <br />3/4 inch crushed rock, gravel or miscellaneous base. The sub grade shall be compacted to 95% <br />minimum and the aggregate base shall be compacted to 90% of maximum density minimum. <br />Concrete driveways and parking areas shall be constructed a minimum of 4 inches thick with <br />construction joints at a maximum of 10 feet. Minimum reinforcement shall consist of #3 reinforcing <br />bars crossing at 24 inches on center and placed in the center of the slab. The driveway shall be <br />constructed over a minimum of 3 inches of crushed rock, gravel or miscellaneous base. Prior to <br />placing concrete, the driveway sub -grade shall be saturated to 100% of optimum moisture to a depth of <br />12 inches. <br />Utility Trenches <br />The development of the site will obviously require utility trenches. Although these trenches are limited <br />in scope, they present significant problems when they are not properly dug and properly backfilled. <br />On site material may be used for utility line backfill. The backfill shall be compacted to 90% of max <br />density. <br />Fill placement and compaction requirements <br />Material for engineered fill should be select free of organic material, debris, ad other <br />deleterious substances, and should not contain fragments greater than 3 inches in maximum <br />dimension. On -site excavated soils that meet these requirements may be used to backfill the <br />excavated Residential Building area. <br />All fill should be placed in 6 inch thick maximum lifts, watered or air dried as necessary to <br />achieve near optimum moisture conditions, and then compacted in place to a maximum <br />relative compaction of 90%.
