Hi Teenie,

Way out west, where I live, the slab on grade is common for new construction. The slab rest on poured concrete footing that have rebar reinforcement. All the concrete is poured at once on forms to provide a solid foundation that is considered monolithic and stable even in earthquake country. Also the slab has steel mesh embedded in it to give it increase strength to minimize cracking from live loads.
