I am building a pool in solid limestone. In fact it is so solid that my utility trenches hold water for weeks.
I had planned on #3 rebar in 8" squares throughout..... I was thinking that was somewhat overkill. I spoke with me slab engineer for a sanity check, and he said that all of his pool builders are now asking for #4 rebar on 12" squares with 2 mats.
That is a lot of steel. Much, much more than my last pool. Is that crazy or am I missing something?
