So, If this seems like a dumb question, well its because I only know my trade's portion of the IRC, but working on building my new home and I am learning the finer parts of the sections I don't ever read lately.
So when you are lost, look for help, so a little clarification would be helpful, please.
I am putting down 2" foam over the gravel and foundation and then laying in 1/2" radiant heat tubing for in the basement concrete floor.
I am going to be using 4,000psi concrete with the fibers mixed in and from what I am reading on the WWW, says when using the fibers you don't need to use wire mesh.
Been about 20 years since my last floor pour and I am trying to verify this. I might still put the wire mess in place to just keep the tubing in place, but wanted to verify if there is an option to leave out the wire mesh when using fibers in the concrete mix, and what section of the 2018IRC for PA would I find this knowledge.
Thanks for the help - Tom
