We just replaced wire mesh with 8mm so that the concrete will satisfy Tension requirements since concrete is weak in tension...

Simply put, Because of the nature of nowadays work, people don't wet their filling for days to allow for enough consolidation. So in other to avoid Tensile failure when loaded, we make our oversite Reinforced. Reinforcement is placed so when the filling underneath gives way, settles or compress maybe due to limited number of wetting that can arise from human error or physical disturbance around the proposed development which create voids, our oversite remains constant... No matter how insignificant the settlement may be, it can make life uneasy for the occupant so that's y we make sure everything is catered for...
