I wouldn't DPM it. If you do, when it rains and soaks the tiles and addy then freezes they will pop off. Use an adhesive suitable for external use

will rising damp from the slab not affect the adhesive..? im looking at the same as tiling a floor inside a house with no dpm..

You don't get freeze thaw inside. That is your main enemy outdoors. There are adhesives suitable for out doors.
