This is monolithic pour (aka alaskan slab) for a post frame construction barn. 6" slab with fiber mesh, 5" slump, 4000 psi small stone mix. I use insulated blankets to keep this from freezing

Interesting you don’t use reo chairs to lift the reo up into the middle of the slab. Also. A slab that size with no expansion gaps/pre cuts? I feel like this would be crack city right now? It’s great people share videos that others can learn from, I’m only asking because every slab I’ve been involved in, we use chairs to raise the reo and pre concrete saw it afterward to ensure that when it does crack (because it will), it does so neatly.

He explains what he's doing and make's sure it suits the building. That's going to be build on the slab. This is what I like about this guy.He even put's insulated blankets so the concrete to cure the first 500 psi so there's no cracking before its fully cure in about 28 days.Who else dose that accept me...

When the hose broke on my Yanmar VIO50 I borrowed Crows Foot wrenches. That was the best way to get into the mess of hoses to loosen and tighten the fittings. I have since bought both metric and standard as the space limitations sometimes require a wrench that is slightly loose to get on and off the nut.

Pretty good. I would have liked to see 'dobes or chairs and #4 or better #5 on a tight schedule since this is going to be a 'floating' slab. If it moves you really want it to move as a single unit made more difficult by the point load on the bedrock. Makes keeping it in an even plane when it cracks more challenging.

It’s better to pour the slab after the posts are set unless you don’t want the slab to aid in constraining your piers, which seems like a waste of material. As a structural engineer, I strongly do not recommend using gravel piers.

Something you might try on setting wet screeds. Put the elevation pad in first with the laser. Then pour the wet screed. I watched the the crew who built. A football stadium do it this way and the slab was incredibly flat. They could empty a ten yard truck in les than 15 minutes

@ohiofarmer5918 4 жыл бұрын

The pour was a 50x50 steel building six inches deep. Done in hour and a half. I think it went so well because one guy set the wet screed while the crew power screeded next to him. This gave the truck driver a sighting point and all the drivers did very well with it. Pouring crew was 4or5.. They had ride on finishing power trowells, a beautiful thing.
