Pouring concrete over existing slab

Asked Mar 16, 2010, 08:39 PM — 1 Answer
I need to pour 4 inches of concrete onto a 6 inch re-inforced slab. I don't think I need to add reo to the additional 4" but I'd like some assurance please.

1. Is it interior or exterior?
2. Will the concrete be supporting a load?
3. What will the purpose of the new concreted area?
