Concrete questions before the truck shows up
Volume, waste, rebar count, and what to tell the plant. Davina will not invent a mix or a bar size.
- Measure length, width, and thickness. Use the calculator for yards and cubic meters.
- Add waste for grade and spillage. Read the bag yield if you are using sacks.
- Order the strength, slump, and air the spec names.
- Brace forms for liquid pressure. Do not add water on site unless the spec allows it.
Common questions
Is 150 pounds per cubic foot the weight of my slab?
That is a typical normal-weight density for a planning weight. Your mix and reinforcement can differ. It is not a crane chart.
Can I change rebar size if the yard is out?
No. That is an engineer or a revised drawing.
