I've not done a hard standing in a few years and don't seem to have any reference material so hopefully someone can help me. Based in UK so answer may be different depending where you are from!

I remember from a previous company that we used standard joint layouts for external hard standing to suit a certain number of A393 mesh panels (I think 4 but could be wrong). From memory, this was generally a contractors preference because it meant that mesh didn't need to be cut and the panels suit the aspect ratio requirements to TR66 to control cracking in the slab. I don't believe it was explicitly referenced in any current code but was mentioned in an old roads guidance doc that I cant seem to find.

Anyone have any clue about this? Basically just looking for an x and y dim, and if possible a referenceable doc?
