I’m no expert but I did go to a civil engineering school and have a degree in it. There were classes focusing on concrete and strength of materials. I wonder why people mix concrete? It’s much easier to dry pour, why were we not taught this method? To summarize concrete has a chemical reaction with the water , sand, aggregate and Portland cement. Concrete can have many amendments added that strengthen and give it special properties such as steel rebar, fencing and nowadays ground metal shavings all to enhance strength of the concrete. There are also amendments that can alter the properties of the concrete for example cold weather. Concrete mixed properly will have most of its strength in the first 30 days thus the variable f subprime. This not mixing it up, and just dumping the Portland cement out is strange at best. I was in Mexico , deep In Mexico once in my life. They mix it using the volcano method. A volcano of Portland cement and the sand and the water, no wheelbarrow even. Five gallon pails to truck it to sight. It was throughly mixed though. Using shovels and hard labor. Skipping the mixing is much easier and attractive for that reason. It will not have the strength a proper mix would have. If it’s so wonderful why is it not standard practice in construction? There are reasons.
To get the 4000 psi the bag claims it will have to be properly mixed, that’s all I’m saying. No mix , no chemical reaction throughout. I’ve had bags harden from sitting in my shed , moisture came from the air and time. The half full bag hardened but was very brittle . I threw it out . lol
Thats perfect. Im always amazed how over engineered walkways are. Its for WALKING but you see pros use steel too! I had to remove a walking pad once and it took me a week bevause of that! This looked far far easier than mixing/pouring.
Concretes works by chemical reaction with water. When you dry poor like this it is inherently weaker as not all of the concrete has reacted with the water and hardened
How is this possible and so easy. Your method working on my Wavlink USB docking station for PC. I have been fighting this all day, doing updates, firmware upgrades, diagnostics on hardware and your method fixed it in seconds. Thanks.
It’s weaker than a real pour, but if it’s just people walking on it all the time it will last for a long time. Now if you’re driving a car on it and parking a car… won’t last. But in this situation nothing wrong with it. 😂
I once had acid relux and chronic bad breath for over 10 years and I visited so many States in the United States 😭😭seeking for help but it was all leading to spending thousands of dollars until I was watching a RU-vid series and I came across Dr.Emovon on RU-vid ads and I decided to order his herbal medication and today I'm fully well from this problems.#dremovon..
It's easy. At first, I thought it wouldn't work, but I did it, and it still stands strong. I will give an update soon for those afraid to try or think it will crack or be a joke. The professional gave me an estimated $4000 to do the project, but I risked it, and it worked out great. You must be patient and add design to the edges before watering it down.
This can be done properly in a mixer or even hand mixed in a large bucket using sand ,cement and chippings at the correct ratio and it'l be solid within 24 hours , this videos way is not going to be as strong plus it takes ages
This is crap that will not last don’t do this dry concrete it will cost you your money to fix later. And if you are selling then the new owner will havto replace it all. This is for people that are intermediated about doing concrete because thy are scared not confident in finishing the concrete off before it drys. Well then don’t do it get a pro or someone that is not scared 😱 anyway this is a junk job don’t do it I am a General contractor licensed for 10 years with 25 years experience. Even when I was a newborn construction worker back in 1999 I still would not do this dry concrete junk. Please don’t do this 😢
It won't hold up to a car... But people walking on it? It should be okay. Though I don't know how well dry pour concrete will hold up in winter climates.
@@ronhanish there has been a few people who tested the dry pour vs wet pour methods. One even cut right through one to see how cured it got. The answer was pretty much as you'd expect. The cure was incomplete in the dry pour. While it did hold it's shape, it was overall brittle. They were able to chip away at it with their bare hands. It'll hold up a person walking on it, but I'd never suggest putting anything over 800 lbs on it.
To get the same quality finish takes a lot of skill with wet cement. (I am guessing, never saw dry cement "poured" before "in real life.") On a dry pour you can endlessly keep sweeping and smoothing till it looks perfect. No time limit before it sets up.
@@plethoraOFtrivia not really, you can buy a mixer at harbor freight or use a wheel barrow. An ugly job would be better than dry pour. It's very brittle and half the strength. You can literally break it apart with your fingers. It will look very old easily.
@@plethoraOFtriviaYou can get this finish in wet concrete with a broom and an edger. No hate to the video poster at all, im not trying to talk down about anyones work at all, and its good to see families working together and tackling things themselves. The fact is though that this finish is very sandy and will deteriorate quickly. It looks like something that was bull floated and broomed, meaning it doesnt take a lot of trowel work to get a finish like this. A handy person with a couple hand tools could probably get a finish that looks like this or better, with the benefit of a denser surface and a stronger slab overall. Again, not trying to be mean at all, just speaking from my experience of not only finishing but teaching people how to finish and seeing how these skills are picked up. Some things in concrete are very difficult and take a lot of skill. I wouldnt say this is one of them. A broom finished 3x5 pad like this is about the easiest starter project you can take on to learn basic skills
Space between top of new slab and bottom of siding too narrow- can lead to prolonged moisture exposure to the sill plate. Not saying this is what he has, but for example, Hardie siding requires minimum 4” gap from bottom edge of siding to any horizontal surface. Also looks like he made slab level when it should slope away from house. Going to have some nice green or brown staining on the siding.
