Above and below: Properly placed/supported reinforcement will result in properly located reinforcement in the slab. Consult manufacturers' literature for maximum chair and other support spacing and use a 12-inch minimum reinforcement spacing so workers can avoid walking on the reinforcement.

How To Reinforce Concrete Slab on Ground to Control Cracking

Steel reinforcing bars and welded wire reinforcement provide crack width control in nonstructural slabs-on-ground.

Random cracks in reinforced slabs caused by thermal contraction and drying shrinkage are not longitudinal cracks and typically do not increase the risk of reinforcement corrosion in concrete.

Two Theories Related to Cracks and Rebar Corrosion

Do cracks increase the risk of steel reinforcement corrosion?

When slabs are placed on problematic subbases with risks of non-uniform support or consist of moderate to high shrinkage concrete or joint spacings exceed 15 ft., then reinforcement is necessary to limit widths of cracks should they occur.
