concrete slab
slab is in good condition. it is a slab foundation for a room addition
24x12. bearing walls sit on new 16"x18" foundation. existing slab wont
really support anything.more worried about creating a sand and visqueen
barrier which would allow the slab to slide back and forth.

pouring a slab foundation on top of existing 4 inch concrete patio.
code calls for 2 inches of sand on top of 10 mil visqueen.what do you
guys think? should i just roughen it up and pour on top? Visqueen is
there as a vapor barrier.
Let me guess, your code is for a new foundation? Break up the patio an
build a "slab foundation", or contact the permit department for some
clarity.
