Question regarding concrete


Ja  Rhule

Recommended Posts

Builder just poured fresh concrete to form slab and its raining very hard here and concrete is covered with water... How bad is it?

Potentially very bad depending on how much water got mixed in with the concrete. I work for an engineering firm and one of the things we do is design concrete mixes for specific requirements. Concrete is made of the following constituents: cement, aggregates, water, and sometimes fly ash and admixtures. Each mix is specifically designed with certain amount of each to meet the design requirements. Any alteration to the original design through addition or subtraction of any of the above constituents will change the way that concrete performs.

Make sure you contact your builder immediately.

About 2-3 hours between they stop pouring concrete and monsoon like rain for 3 hours. Talked to broker and he said builder fuged up big time. My dad said they will not re pour because its just too damn expensive to take out original concrete and add new one (my house is being built by publicly traded company). They will probably settle with us (give us little money to go away) and sell this lemon to unsuspected customer.

    • OK honestly I don’t identify like that but if I did I would think about being the first raised on TV generation (bad), we were probably latch key/before the term was invented - because I was raised by a single working parent, stuff like that. No baby sitters until after dark. Afternoons you just waited for an adult to show up. We were the bussing generation where they tried out their social engineering and forcing the races together in school (good and bad in that), and definitely the first bunch to have to deal with the threat of the big bomb going off. I, like everybody else was taken out in the hallway at school and taught how to and where to sit and receive my radiation dose if someone nuked us. And then they killed our president right in front of us. That is probably the most destabilizing thing that gets the least attention. The atomic bomb and the potus killing.  Around t(e same time we had the Beatles and music becoming a youth thing, with the youth gaining economic power they still have today, and top it off with a good memory of childhood - all tne Coke bottle caps had pictures of NFL players in them. We collected them. I particularly remember Mick Tinglehoff Minnesota Vikings lol. Complete with flattop haircut. We had pro football before there was ever a super bowl and in those days baseball was the king of sports in the US.But football was coming for them. And soccer was what weird funny talking foreigners did lol.
