Soil, slabs and movement in Donnybrook VIC

Each lot is classified under AS 2870, and that class drives slab design, reinforcement and the movement expected between a wet winter and a dry summer. We do not publish a class for Donnybrook as a whole, because it is a lot by lot figure sitting on your own soil report. What we can describe is what goes wrong when the slab as built departs from what was drawn.

FAQ

Soil, slabs and movement in Donnybrook VIC: common questions

What site class applies in Donnybrook?

It varies lot by lot and appears on your own soil report. Ask the builder for it and check the slab drawing was designed to that class.

Is slab cracking normal?

Some is. The tolerances guide categorises it by width and location, and we measure rather than judge. A 2mm to 4mm crack sits outside the acceptable range.

Why do continuous beams matter?

They are how the slab spans and stiffens. An obstructed beam is not doing the job the engineer designed it to do.
