pouring concrete slab foundation--stages
In terms of final strength, is there a difference if you pour the concrete a couple of inches a day over three or four days?
Does the concrete slab have to be poured to full thickness in the same session and cure together as a slab? Thanks |
Absolutely!
You will most definitely want to pour the full thickness of the slab in one pour. The slower the cure time, the stronger the slab will be. |
If the whole slab is too large for one man in one day, will it be possible to divide the whole slab into sections.
Likely the wooden mode will have holes/thin slot to accommodate the rebars and/or wires. |
if you DON'T place it in 1 day & do as you proposed, you won't have any final strength as you'll have horizontal delamination & cold joints,,, where the **** did you ever come up w/that idea, anyway ?
if the slab's too large for one man, get more men,,, there's NO way any pro would consider doing any work w/o the proper men & tools,,, i'd suggest you find someone who actually knows something about what you're trying to do ! what wood, wire, & steel ? if 4" thick, no one specs it. |
This is the place to spend the money and get it done right. Concrete does have science and you do need to know what you are doing.
