We're pouring a 1400 Square Foot Concrete floor for a house. The easiest part of pouring and screeding this floor was using MBW's ScreeDemon power screed. If you pour using a water reducer in your concrete, a 7 slump is a great slump to use these vibratory screeds.
I show you how to rake the concrete behind a power screed to make the screeding go fast, level, and flat for the operator.

So in Germany. They stick their heat floor tube on top of their pour flour (dried). Then pour a 7 cm thin set on top. Reason, if something goes wrong they don't need to tear up their whole foundation to fix it. Have you thought about doing that instead of pour your floor on top of the tubing? There are other bonus by doing it on top of the foundation too.

We've been pouring over radiant for more than 30 years now. I've never heard of someone having an issue. Not saying there haven't been any but I have never heard back from anyone. We do about 100 a year like this.

Hey Mike, is it possible to do a pour of one slab in two separate pours for the reason of having different heights so it could transition from vinyl plank to polish concrete so the finished level of both floors would be the same height with no transition strips. The slab would have rebar, tubing, insulation, and vapor barrier.. that's the part that makes it tough, I don't know how you'd form it.

What slump does this spec to after the water reducer wears off and how long before it turns?

@MikeDayConcrete
@MikeDayConcrete Жыл бұрын
It would spec out to about a 3. It doesn't "turn" like the old stuff but you got about 20 to 30 minutes to work with it depending on how hot out the weather is and how far away the job is from the plant.

That separation of visible, well-defined coarse aggregate piling up while the water/cement and fines run away is called "segregation" and it's bad news. I know it'll stiffen up as the effect of the superplasticizer admixture is overcome by the hydration reaction, but the damage is done. You're going to have spots that cure to a 28 day strength of 5,000psi and some that cure to 750psi.

hey mike, i have been watching a while now. pouring a slab for my self next week to put a gazebo on. I hear you talk about water reducers. which is best, mid range or high range? my understanding was high was done on the job and mid is done at the plant, do i have that correct? i like it when it is a 7 slump range, so which is correct. appreciate you , thanks

How do you deal with entrapped air when you power trowel?
@MikeDayConcrete
@MikeDayConcrete Жыл бұрын
It's not an issue with us unless they put too much air in the concrete. It's usually around 5%, just don't steel trowel it too early. The only time we run into issues is when the sub-base is really cold and the concrete is warm. The top sets faster than the bottom. The surface gets closed up and sometimes we get blisters. They can be hard to deal with, we try to cut them open with the trowel then smooth them right back over with the hand trowel.

I'm not knocking your work. We all have one get away from us every once in a while. That mix was trash. There was obvious segregation occurring right out of the chute. That alone meets batch rejection criteria. But I also understand this is non-structural and it doesn't really matter that it's a garbage batch. It's just a spacer between the radiant heat and the tile that will be installed above it. It might be 5,000psi in spots and 500psi in others, but honestly, 100 will do just fine as long as they install the tile over Schluter so the cracking from nonuniform shrinkage doesn't transfer through to the tile. The reality is the ready mix company jas a heart attack when you reject a batch and they hold a grudge over it, even if you're right. So when they send a bad batch or add too much water on site or fail to mix it sufficiently for homogenization, you don't have much choice but to make lemonade out of those lemons - unless it's structural. Then it matters.

These guys are Hacks .you can see the water in the mix separate from the agraget way to much water. Probably only a 5 sack mix. This is not the proper way to place concrete. Concrete should be no weter than a 5 slump. 😢

​@@fritzpipkin792which is why state projects have actual licensed professional engineers on site and send core samples to the materials testing lab to get actual numbers instead of throwing tiger hair and superplasticizer and calcium chloride in to make snake oil and calling it good enough.
