YES! Reinforcement prevent settling or shifting when cracks occur (Reinforcement does NOT prevent cracking, it simply maintains the the flat surface).

If you can't sell it on eBay, it may not even qualify as landfill.

Retired (mostly) from the industry after 33 years...but still putzing around with a consumer information website, and trying to sell obsolete owners manuals

It's a good idea, and may be a code in your area, to electrically bond the rebar as well.

yup...rebar and/or mesh and relief cuts if needed, and like someone stated check local codes to see if bonding the slab/hottub is needed
