The problem with doing this is the air inside. That reo will rust out rapidly due to air with moister and ability for rust to expand quicker. The air pockets will reduce the overall strength allowing weaker pathways for cracks to follow. Dry concrete is fluffed up. It is 2/3rds the size when wet. He has just reduced the strength massively. The cost of mixing by hand compared to bags is massive. $20 per bag. He spent about $400. Premix and cement a Max of $80. The bloke done a bad quality at a huge cost.

One consideration I had was if anyone has done a "hybrid" approach.....setting the forms, pour in gravel and compact, add dry concrete, then add enough water to the powder and mix it in the forms till consistency is similar to typical poured concrete. You'd likely have the mix splashing a bit over the top edges of the forms, but the mix would be more uniformly saturated. Rebar could be pushed into wet mix prior to scredding, and finishing edges and surface. It would save having to mix in separate container, and allow larger batches to be mixed, than possible with a portable mixer.
@SnakePlantCollector
19 сағат бұрын
I don't think you would be able to push down rebars after mixing it in the forms. You will need to push the rebars at least 1.5~2.0" down from the top surface, which I think it would be extremely hard because of timing. To this day, I only mixed about 200 bags of concrete mix using a shovel and a tub. So, I am not a pro, but just my thoughts based on my experience. A hybrid approach to me is to mix less water to the mix and just pour it before it is consistently mixed with water. This way, some portion will be well mixed, and some portion will be a little dry. This way, you can reduce the mixing time and save time. However, the last 1~2 bags would need to be mixed well for a good finish.

I can mix enough concrete for that in one day set it up in one day and be able to walk in it two days after. The second day I would be soaking it down this adds another day or two of soaking just to make sure that everything is set up properly and the surface is pitted on this because he did it dry. He didn't use a trowel to troll it out he didn't brush it with a broom. So, what will happen is this will pit out on the uneven and be bad in a year or two. If you mix it first with water and pour it in it will set and stay for 10 years. Which do you think is more cost-effective? Something that will last two to three years before it cracks and start spitting out to the point where you have to repair it? Or, a slab that will last for ten years before it starts to pit or crack?

I’m confused, why not just mix and pour, taking, probably, hours off the project time and ensuring even mix throughout? I guess what is the benefit?

Looks like a lot more work than just renting a mixer an pouring it properly. Don’t see the upside and I’ve read from multiple reliable sources that it’s neither as hard or durable as a proper mix and pour.

If i recall my incompetent info: expansion is measured between 4-6 meters, and it's only necessary when the slap is twice the size of the expansion, meaning a slap is 10-12 meters.
@timkrouse345

YES it needs expansion joints every 18" minimum. There should also be an expansion joint between the slab and shed as well as 1/2" coated rebar (double layer) crossed and tied every 6". He should also have footings all around the perimeter to 12" below the frost line. 6" gravel bed, vapor barrier and fiber reinforcement. Lets see what this rubble heap looks like in 30 years.
