Is there anywhere specifically in the 2006 IRC that requires a thickened slab for an interior load bearing wall?
Generally, I don't have to ask DP's to provide these. They just do. No rhyme or reason for sizes but generally noted somwhere on the set. So where is the requirement located? If anywhere? IRC or ACI 318?
The IRC does provide a figure R403.1(1) in the upper right hand corner. But no other information. Or am I to assume that this figure goes along with section 403.1 which requires 12" in width minimum, then tie that section into 403.1 requiring a minimum depth of 6 inches?
