<p class="MsoNormal">Hello Network,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I was wondering if any one might have a standard detail they would be willing to share for either a reinforced floating concrete sidewalk or floating concrete slab (e.g. driveway pad) for use in situations of construction or reconstruction
where near surface tree roots exists and limited excavation is preferred. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Any help is appreciated<o:p></o:p></p>
