the connection, maby cracking the slab. It would be a
better solution to use smooth dowels at 2'-6" o.c. and
allow the slab to move slightly relative to the
foundation. The moisture penetration through the joint
should also be addressed. Sub slab grading and
moisture control play a role in the behavior of the
slab.
