Slump TestHere is the slump test being performed by a CPAC QA engineer. If the slump is 12 to 14 centimeters the concrete is dryish, 15-17 the concrete is normal and 18 + the concrete is watery. Although 12 to 14 is a bit harder to work it is a stronger and more desirable product to be used in the flooring and ground beam. Workers often prefer 18 + as it is easier to work, without regard to the strength characteristics of the concrete. dozer     (0 votes)

Floor LevelThe ultimate target floor level is indicated by the prepoured concrete cone in the middle of the picture. Once the CPAC is poured this provides a reference for the leveling process. Note that the finished poured floor is not exactly level, the ultimate leveling occurs during the laying of the ceramic floor tiles. dozer     (0 votes)

Concrete being AppliedThe concrete is delivered from the truck to the desired spot via our 30 centimeter PVC half pieces. This works better than other delivery systems and avoids extra cost required for special equipment. dozer     (0 votes)

Vibrator avoids Voids in the ConcreteA vibrator is necessary to avoid voids in the final product. When the vibrator is applied to the concrete you will see the area around the vibration compact and sink quickly. dozer     (0 votes)

Roughed SurfaceHere is a roughed surface. A bamboo broom or a handful of wire (the same wire used to tie the rebar together) is used to rough the surface.dozer     (0 votes)

Steel SpecificationSteel is sold as light, medium, full or industrial (?¹‚?¸£?¸§?¹??¸«?¸??¹?) which is a confusing system. The actual specification which refers to the strength required to deform 1 mm strand is printed on the side of the rebar, in this case SD30, on this 12 mm rebar. Only the full grade was used on all 6, 9 and 12mm throughout the project.dozer     (0 votes)
