Some of the things an inspector is going to ask are:
Was a proctor taken of the subgrade and base material? ? (Sample to test)
What were the results of the tests?
Did you test the compaction of the subgrade and base material after installation?
Was the proper amount of water added to both materials to acquire the maximum compaction?
Who did the test and did you review the data for accuracy?
Despite all the aforementioned preparatory work before laying the concrete, an earthquake will still damage the strongest of components.
This is why I continue to leave certain phases of construction to the professionals. I strongly recommend using a company like Kopohocats construction management firm to do the phases of construction that you are not familiar with. I'm a Project Manager with a large construction firm in Hilo and even I used Cat's company on sections of our home.
