The principles leading to proper placement of concrete are:

      • Segregation must be avoided during all operations between the mixer and the point of placement, including final consolidation and finishing.
      • The concrete must be thoroughly combined, worked solidly around all implanted items, and should fill all angles and corners of the forms.
      • Where fresh concrete is placed against or on hardened concrete, a good connection must be developed.
      • Unconstrained concrete must not be placed under water.
      • The temperature of fresh concrete must be controlled from the time of mixing through completion of placement, and protected after placement.

Bee Safe is a full service turnkey commercial construction company with considerable knowledge and experience in the construction of commercial, multi-family, custom home, and underground bunker markets.

Bee Safespecializes in:
      • Slabs on grade

There is so much to know about concrete and placement. Below is just short summaries of some of the information.

METHODS OF PLACING

Concrete may be conveyed from a mixer to point of placement by any of a variety of methods and equipment, if properly transported to avoid segregation. Selection of the most appropriate technique for economy depends on jobsite conditions, especially project size, equipment, and the contractor’s experience.

EXCESS WATER

Even within the specified limits on slump and water-cementations materials ratio, excess water must be avoided. In this context, excess water is present for the conditions of placing if evidence of water rise (vertical segregation) or water flow (horizontal segregation) occurs. Excess water also tends to aggravate surface defects by increased leakage through form openings. The result may be honeycomb, sand streaks, variations in color, or soft spots at the surface.

CONSOLIDATION

The purpose of consolidation is to eliminate voids of entrapped air and to ensure intimate complete contact of the concrete with the surfaces of the forms and the reinforcement. Intense vibration, however, may also reduce the volume of desirable entrained air; but this reduction can be compensated by adjustment of the mix proportions

CONCRETING VERTICAL ELEMENTS

The interior of columns is usually congested; it contains a large volume of reinforcing steel compared with the volume of concrete, and has a large height compared with its cross-sectional dimensions. Therefore, though columns should be continuously cast, the concrete should be placed in 2- to 4-ft-deep increments and consolidated with internal vibrators. These should be lifted after each increment has been vibrated.

CONCRETING HORIZONTAL ELEMENTS

Where the surface will be covered and protected against abrasion and weather, few special precautions are needed. For concrete slabs, careless placing methods result in horizontal segregation, with desired properties in the wrong location, the top consisting of excess water and fines with low abrasion and weather resistance, and high shrinkage. For a good surface in a one-course slab, low-slump concrete and a minimum of vibration and finishing are desirable.

BONDING TO HARDENED CONCRETE

The surface of hardened concrete should be rough and clean where it is to be bonded with fresh concrete. Vertical surfaces of planned joints may be prepared easily by wire brushing them, before complete curing, to expose the coarse aggregate. Care should be taken to remove all laitance and to expose sound concrete and coarse aggregate.

HEAVY-DUTY FLOOR FINISHES

Floor surfaces highly resistant to abrasion and impact are required for many industrial and commercial uses. Such surfaces are usually built as two-course construction, with a base or structural slab topped by a wearing surface.

CONCRETING IN COLD WEATHER

Frozen materials should never be used. Concrete should not be cast on a frozen subgrade, and ice must be removed from forms before concreting. Concrete allowed to freeze wet, before or during early curing, may be seriously damaged. Furthermore, temperatures should be kept above 40_F for any appreciable curing (strength gain).

CONCRETING IN HOT WEATHER

Mixing and placing concrete at a high temperature may cause flash set in the mixer, during placing, or before finishing can be completed. Also, loss of strength can result from casting hot concrete. In practice, most concrete is cast at about 70 +- 20.

CURING CONCRETE

Curing of concrete consists of the processes, natural and artificially created, that affect the extent and rate of hydration of the cement. Many concrete structures are cured without artificial protection of any kind. They are allowed to harden while exposed to sun, wind, and rain. This type of curing is unreliable, because water may evaporate from the surface.

INSPECTION OF CONCRETE PLACEMENT

Concrete should be inspected for the owner before, during, and after casting. Before concrete is placed, the formwork must be free of ice and debris and properly coated with bond-breaker oil. The rebar steel reinforcing bars must be in place, properly supported to bear any traffic they will receive during concrete placing. Conduit, inserts, and other items to be embedded must be in position, fixed against displacement.
