Before we pour concrete, there are eight things I do to prepare for the pour.
In this video, I'll talk about my 8 tips for preparing for a concrete pour. Most of the time I do these without even thinking about it. Probably because we pour concrete every day.
But for someone who doesn't pour concrete a lot or at all, these 8 tips should help you plan for your upcoming pour.
If you have any tips to add to mine, list them in the comments below.

Another tip with the mix. If you live in a freeze thaw area you need air entrapment, however if you live in a hot arid area with hot dry winds you want bleed water rising to the surface so you will want only 1 percent air in your mix.

Preparation Prevents Piss Poor Performance haha great stuff Mike

@ghettohey2388 8 месяцев назад

Have a question mike. Does using a mix thats let say a high slump of 6-10 cause issues with the stone sinking to the bottom of the mix. Does this ever occurred when you poured. Im.just curious

@patricklucero815 8 месяцев назад

I have nevsr been able to produce the quality finish my customers have grown accustomed to using air entrainment. So here in the north west i only use it when doing a broom or stamped or something other than a steel trowel machine finish. Maybe it is the entrainment % in the mix that causes the issues but its no Bueno.

@bdhabets3250 8 месяцев назад

We use a low air mix like 1-2% air and works fine

@kellyinfanger9192 18 дней назад

Our batch plant asks if it will be power troweled. If so, we use no air entrainment. Inside a garage like that, it doesn't need frost protection.

@gibsonbuilds4841 8 месяцев назад

All good ideas. I always have a $10 bill....if the driver does a good job.

@onjofilms 8 месяцев назад

I think one time you said you order a 3/4 slump with water reducer, but in this one you say 6/7 slump with reducer which makes more sense. There is more water in a 6/7 slump and the water reducer reduces the water upon drying somehow. Is that correct? Also, I saw a floor pour here in FL where the 3 and 4th truck were late and the concrete set up at the flow out, so the next pour was on concrete (where it flowed out below FFE) creating a seperation line I'm sure. Is that a problem later, of that is just where the crack is going to appear? Have you ever had that situation where the later trucks were so late the first pours set up?

@mad_dentisthd7421 8 месяцев назад

There are two type of water reducers. Mid-range water reducer and high-range water reducer(also called super-plastizer). You use súper when you want a high slump (6-10”). Slump does not indicate how much water there is. This is because these water reducers increase slump without the need for more water. It’s called a water reducer because you can use less water in the mix to achieve a higher slump concrete. Remember, the more water in the mix, the weaker the concrete becomes

@onjofilms 8 месяцев назад

@@mad_dentisthd7421 Okay, thanks, more clear. So do you order a 6-7" slump or a 3-4" slump with high-range water reducer?

@mad_dentisthd7421 8 месяцев назад

@@onjofilmsorder the slump based on what job you’re doing. If you need flowy concrete order a 7” with super. It’s typical that you order super with > than a 6” slump

@kellyinfanger9192 18 дней назад

Our concrete batch plants recommend no air entrainment if it is going to be power troweled. That concrete inside a garage doesn't need frost protection. If you use air entrainment and start using steel trowels a little too soon, it seals the surface, and when you go to put that last pass on, the surface will peel.

@jamescole3152 8 месяцев назад

That concrete looks to be about 2" thick? What am I missing here?

@meatman655 6 месяцев назад

I see that you are pouring on top of plastic and the rebar is underneath the plastic. Sometimes there is no plastic and I think sometimes there is plastic under the rebar what’s up with that what is the purpose?
