What the estimate checks before a slab is poured
Soil comes first. Expansive clay pushes up and sideways on a foundation, the county soil survey warns, which is why it wants foundations engineered to each site's soil: its depth to bedrock, its depth to any water table and its natural drainage.
Robinson works from the 2024 International Code Council series, and its 2024 International Residential Code sends foundations and floor slabs on expansive soils to Section 1808.6 of the International Building Code for their design.
Post-tensioning is one answer the Post-Tensioning Institute promotes for that ground: less concrete and steel for the same structural capacity, any cracks kept tight, and often a faster install than a rebar or wire-mesh slab. PTI says its design guidelines for these foundations, which date from 1980, have since been used under millions of homes.
A storefront or shop floor is covered under commercial concrete in Robinson, an outdoor slab under Robinson patios, and the rest under all Robinson services.

Estimate and design
The footprint, the loads and the soil are checked at the estimate, and an engineered design follows where the ground calls for one.
Base, forms and steel
Under the 2021 International Residential Code, no floor on ground may be thinner than 3½ inches, and slabs on expansive soil follow a section of their own.
Pour, cure and stress
On a post-tensioned slab, each cable is pulled to 33,000 pounds once the concrete has gained strength, stretching a 100-foot cable 8 inches.
