Costco 3lb containers of salt in each glove box. I've had to threaten 2 employees with a write up or termination if they didn't swallow a handful of salt when they were having a electrolyte indused heatstroke. If you're thirsty and your stomach is full of water you're going in into that type of event. Each a couple piles of salt and you'll be better immediately and hopefully recovered in 10 min.

@@sparksmcgee6641 useful - and accurate.

Agreed. Even though you can figure out the volume, give them the dimensions so you don't run out of material!

Thank you daniel!

Glad you like it! Please keep the comments coming!

I am glad it was helpful!

Thanks! What specifically did you want to know about UHPC?

Thanks for watching!

Glad you like it!

Thanks so much!

Thank you!

Thank you so much!

Thank you!

Thanks!

Thanks! This is often called ECC. It doesn't use large aggregate and it has a lot of fibers. You need special fibers that do a great job bonding to the concrete. You should reach out to Victor Li at the University of Michigan. He developed it.

Thanks! I have a video on GFRP but it is a little old. I will make an updated one coming up but I have a few other videos coming.

What do you want to know? Have you seen my Tarantula Curve playlist?

@@TylerLey yes I have. And Im willing to interduce it to a local company (after graduation ofc) so I want to solve more different problems with it and deeply understanding it problems like designing mixture for bridges or airfield pavement or even residentials. But the problem is here in Syria we don't have a source for fly ash. All of our mixtures don't contain SCM's.

I do help people with their mixes but I think you need trial batching to do what you want to do.

Good question. Compression tests can be done prior to 28 days that the concrete is on track to pass the 28 day test. The 2500 psi grout I ordered tested at up to 5000 psi. So it's much stronger than spec and thus very unlikely to fail the 28 day test.

A proper contract under the UCC makes the supplier liable for consequential damages for faulty materials. Gotta have that skin in the game.

They wait for 56 days to see if it makes strength. If it still doesn't then they take a core. ACI 318 says you only have to be within 85% of the design strength on a core taken from a structure. If they still don't make it they do more engineering to see how it impacts the performance. It is not common for a removal and replacement but it does happen.

It tells you how much clay is in your sand. It can be useful.

If you are ordering a concrete you would like it to be within +/- 1.5" or so. W/cm is tougher as it is hard to measure. Watch my videos over the Phoenix to learn more. A good number is +/- 0.02 w/cm.

I will talk more about that in my slab videos. Those are coming out soon. I also have videos on fibers where I talk about them.

These can be great! You need to understand what you want to do with your concrete.

The concrete plant might have an admixture that reduces shrinking. SRA is shrinkage reducing admixture.

You should watch my next few videos. I talk about how to do this without ordering crazy concrete. In summary, reduce the shrinkage. Honey tubs brought up SRAs. They are ok but they are expensive and they impact your strength. I would reduce paste content and then reduce restraint. More details in the video. I am a big fan of fibers. Most ready mix plants worth their salt will have them. Very few people have a Type K or a light weight aggregate and so no one uses them.

We pour higher w/cm all the time in the US for structural concrete.

@@TylerLey okay sir understood

You need to understand the engineer has never once had a mag in his hand. Get more involved to make it easier on the crew.

@@rhett7337 I agree with Rhett. If you make it easier on the crew you will get a better product.

You're making blue collar smarts into rocket science.That engineer isn't really needed unless you're really green..Like asking an electrical engineer if you should use a 14 or 16 gauge extension cord for a hair dryer

Don't accept the truck. The batch time is on the ticket. If it is more than 1h late then I would send back and not pay.

@@TylerLey My question was rhetorical. But stale concrete happens all the time, and contractors are not typically ready for it or even aware of it happening. Typically it just gets foisted.

I think it has its place but I wouldn't use it on concrete that I care about.

He made an appearance in the video. Not sure if I know enough about the details to make a video.

Thank you!

Some people just pour over what they have.

Dry pour is not a real thing outside of the Internet. Try it with a cake sometime. Pour the wet ingredients on top of the dry ingredients and see how good your cake turns out with no mixing.

@@SwedishDeathLlama appreciate it 🙌 actually made 5 dry pour slabs using compacting, Burlap type water curing, with a sand wash finish, I believe I cracked the Dry pour strength code interested in hearing Mr Tylers thoughts🙌🤙 videos are on my channel 🤙

@@DiyTheGrappler I think you can make dry pour slabs in the way that you mentioned but do you think it is less work then just ordering ready mix concrete? Are you happy with the surface finish? It really depends on what you want to achieve.

@@TylerLey thank you for the response!! Been waiting! I have mentioned you in many of my videos I have made many slabs / pavers using dry pour method adding Water curing for strength (burlap method)7 days covered then continue to water cure for 28 days Compacting dry concrete/vibrating side of forms of to reduce air voids and pockets Been using sand mix 5000psi to top the dry pour to get a clean sand wash finish I ultimately want to make a driveway using the dry pour method along with curing and compacting to eliminate potential problems, do you think dry pour is capable of having the same or close to wet pour strength? Thank you 👍

If you don't really care about performance or appearance then I think it can be ok. It is basically expensive stabilized base. I will see if I can get my class to do a project on it coming up.

Totally agree!!!

It is pretty common in the concrete practice to order more of anything then what you need.

None for me.
