Ive read the typical process of laying a concrete slab is Compacted hardcore > sharp sand > DPM > Concrete. How would you incorporate a DPM when extending a concrete slab though? Would you leave the face of the concrete slab that will be in contact with the new slab bare with no DPM (like this sketch below). Or would you face all sides with the DPM and cut holes in the DPM for the dowels to poke through?
Option 1
Option 2 - DPM goes all around and dowels poke through
