I need to add a 20'x16' slab to an existing post tension slab (house) that will be attached at a back corner of the house (16' from corner in). The house slab was post tension and is on rock (the back yard has many areas where grass does not grow and rock/shale is visible). What is the correct method to attach to the existing house slab for the addition?
