New Residential Site - Foundation Progress

This semester I am following a "Green" residential site on South Village Way here in Blacksburg. This site is a poured foundation wall job, with a partial basement and slab on grade under the garage. The picture above shows the 1/2" expansion joint material installed and the basement plumbing has been roughed in. Also, the vapor barrier over top of gravel has been laid out. The picture below shows the placement of rebar for a portion of the thickened slab. Because the slab is thicker at this point rebar is required to prevent cracking.
