In this video I'm building a concrete ramp that's ADA compliant and will be used for wheelchairs and handicapped people that need to get in and out of this church.
This ADA ramp is 28' long and has 28" of slope from top to bottom. When you pour a concrete ramp, you want a stiffer concrete mix so it doesn't sag as your pouring and leveling it. We used a 4000 psi mix for this ramp and poured it at a 4" slump.

The attention to detail on the finish is really cool. I didn't know about using a broom to create that texture before this video.

Nicely done. I need to have several drive up ramps/aprons from the graveled road into my newly built garage. I have four areas that require ramps entering the building so that will finalize my exterior work. Thanks for the video showing how you poured and finished the concrete. I'm anxious to have my ramps done. So in order to control the slipping of poured concrete, just make the mix drier so gravity doesn't make it shift. Enjoyed a full-watch. I learn something new every time I watch your vids. 👍🏽🤠 02/23/24

Lovely work Mike. A neighbor asked if I could build him a wheel chair ramp and since I have only done a bit of concrete work I said no. LOL. But if I had this kind of skill I would have been good. Thanks for sharing.

I think you are right about screeding uphill. I'm no expert, but I found that screeding downhill tends to drag the concrete from behind the screed leaving it low. The wetter the mix, the worse the effect because gravity helps to move the concrete down hill. I do have a fair bit of experience pushing wheelchairs around and dealing with four wheel walking frames though and the cut joints in the concrete are a good idea as some people can get hung up on the smallest bumps, especially with the wheeled walking frames. I like the slope too as it helps with decent control more than anything. I have seen a walking frame get away from someone that was going down a steeper ramp and they were not strong enough to work the hand brakes. That sort of thing can be pretty nasty. Good job and thanks for taking the time to think about the people who might make use of your concrete artwork.

@ellyess7203 Год назад

This is so lovely to watch. I don't suppose you could all come to England and make one for me could you? Just joking, it would be wonderful but I'm broke. Thanks for the film and teaching.

@oldman4289 3 года назад

Hi Mike, another great video. Have you done any work with fiber optic concrete? Was really wondering how you felt about its uses, costs, and durability? Are there any other new technologies your excited about?

@jevigillsikh 2 года назад

Hello Mike, great work. I learned a lot. I am working on building a concrete ramp and having hard time finding handrails like in this video. Would you mind sharing the manufacture's info? Thank you.

@kevinwbeasley 2 года назад

You did a nice job on the ramp. You may not be aware of how dangerous blowing concrete dust (silica) is without the use of a mask to protect your lungs. Silicosis is an interstitial lung disease caused by breathing in tiny bits of silica, a common mineral found in many types of rock and soil. Over time, exposure to silica particles causes permanent lung scarring, called pulmonary fibrosis.

@1sttigertiger426 3 года назад

Was caulk applied to the saw-cut lines? Water/snow can seep below and cause the concrete to heave, especially with the impermeable foam below.

@ltcajh 2 года назад

Good video. From a pulmonary perspective- can't be good breathing that dust!

I have made ramps in my cellar but the kept sliding down. I had to keep pushing it up. Looks like thinking consistency is better. Why did you cut those lines in it after? How deep do you go?

Americans With Disabilities Act of 1990 (ADA; Pub. L. 101-336) The ADA established accessibility guidelines for buildings and facilities (see Phillips et al., 2020; Foti & Koketsu, 2013, pp. 179-194; U.S. Department of Justice, 2010) Accessible route: The minimum clear width of an accessible route is 36 inches, except at doors. Ramp The maximum slope of a ramp is 1:12. Ramp slopes between 1:16 and 1:20 are preferred. Most ambulatory people and most people who use a wheelchair cannot manage a slope of 1:12 for 30 feet. The maximum rise for any run is 30 inches. The minimum clear width of a ramp is 36 inches. A ramp run that has a rise of more than 6 inches or a horizontal projection of more than 72 inches should have handrails on both sides. Stairs: All steps should have uniform riser heights and uniform tread widths of no less than 11 inches. Handrails Clear space of 1-1½ inches between the handrail and the wall A height of 34-38 inches, or waist height depending on the person’s height, measured to the top of the gripping surface from the ramp surface or stair nosing, is recommended for adults. A maximum height of 28 inches is recommended for children. Doorway The minimum clear opening is 32 inches. (Note: The minimum clearance width for a standard adult-size wheelchair is 26 inches; the minimum clearance width for a walker is 18 inches.) Thresholds at doorways should not exceed ¾ inch in height for exterior sliding doors or ½ inch for other types of doors. Raised thresholds and floor-level changes at accessible doorways should be beveled with a slope no greater than 1:2. Door hardware for accessible door passages should be mounted no higher than 48 inches above the finished floor. Wheelchairs: minimum of 60-inch diameter or a 60-inch by 60-inch T-shaped space for a pivoting 180° turn to avoid the need for repeated tries and bumping into surrounding objects

@dickheaddan4106 3 года назад

You should really think about using water or a vacuum when you're cutting concrete. Not many people think about the dust and the negative health effects silicosis creates until it's too late. I never thought about it until my lung capacity took a dive and i'm in my mid 30's.
