Engineer's Spec Had Rebar, Wire Mesh, Fibermesh For Different Areas?
Рет қаралды 47,007
16 күн бұрынIn this video, we'll discuss an engineer's specifications for pouring concrete, including the use of rebar, wire mesh, and fiber mesh in different areas. Whether you're pouring a concrete floor or constructing a garage, understanding these requirements will ensure a strong and durable final product. Find out how to properly prepare and reinforce your concrete in this informative video!
#EverythingAboutConcrete #MikeDayConcrete #engineerspecrebar
We're pouring in 4 different areas for this job today. The engineer spec'd different reinforcement for each area.
The house floor has 6 mil poly and fiber mesh in the concrete. The garage floor has 2" styrofoam, 6 mil poly, and a mat of rebar in the floor. The tiny garage area has 2" styrofoam, 6 mil poly, and wire mesh in the floor. All different types of reinforcement on the same pour.
Do you think the engineer's specifications make sense on this house and garage floor pours?
What would you have done differently, if anything?
The garage floor was also 6 inches thick VS 4 inches thick for the house and tiny garage.
Comment with your thoughts.

Mike, my hats off to you and your crew, I am not a expert, but been around many pours, I worked in excavation for years. I never saw a leaf blower on any jobs before. I thought I needed a leaf blower, and have never used it for leaves, just blowing off equipment. Good comments as the pour is being done. Shear panic for me if I had to do that big of job.

@gregorymacneil2836 14 күн бұрын
My guess on the various slab specs is that the engineer created "Zones" and set the specs with computer design software based on the anticipated loads in each area. You should get used to this approach as it optimizes materials and labour. There is no logical reason that every area has to be the same spec. You may not notice big savings on an individual house, but on a large building or a whole subdivision, the savings from this approach can quickly add up. I am subscribed!
