[@royordway9157]

Great job as always Ron. It is interesting to see floor drains in a garage/shop for I assume trucks. Here in my area, Southern Maine, you can't do that unless you have an elaborate sewer system that is designed to separate the oil from the water but, you can sweep it out the door, go figure. I was taught to keep the reinforcing mesh or rebar in the bottom 1/3 of the slab or pier if only one layer was called for. These were jobs that may or may not have had an engineer's stamp on the plans. I started in construction in 1975 and learned from guys who were pouring concrete in the 50's. I know that now in residential garages and some light commercial slab applications, a lot of concrete guys use fiber in the conc and no wire or rebar. If the sub=grade is prepared right, nothing is going to settle anyway so when the concrete cracks, it ain't going anywhere.

[@bondobuilt386]

I agree the sub grade is the most important part of a slab. We use wire and fiber and always pull it up. I still catch he'll for the wire every video. I also agree it should be near the bottom 1/3 rd of the slab. That sucks you can't put a drain in a garage.

Awesome Job Men !!!

[@mauricekeithjohnson2598]

At what area of pour, or type of mix, would you set the wire up on chairs for max strength ? Great job Material cost per yard ?

[@ShredPile]

Concrete cracks where it stretches so on a floor that is the bottom of the slab. The top is in compression and the bottom is in tension so the wire at the bottom keeps it from stretching more. It only takes a little bit of effort to tug it up into place where it will stay because it never goes all the way back down when you walk over it again. If you want to chair it up or put it on dobies then 1" dobies will put it in the lowest third of the slab.

We poured 55 yards of a barn floor just like this 10 days ago on a 40 degree day. Got the 4000 psi concrete from Vitale Robinson with 2% calcium (no steel in our floor), got it all down by 1030am, and by 330pm when we were power troweling it, noticed spider cracks everywhere. Have you ever seen that? What would you think caused that?

[@bondobuilt386]

I would say the surface was drying too fast. I have seen those micro cracks in stamped concrete before. Never in a power troweled floor. I would be calling Vitalle in case you have a problem down the road.

[@jerry4012]

100% it was the surface drying too quickly. Fiber mesh solves that issue, throw a pound or so per yard in the mix.

@@bondobuilt386 Great job on the concrete! Wow, they (home owners) spent all that money on spray foam insulation and did nothing to stop moisture from coming up through the concrete. A plastic vapor barrier would have been cheap insurance to guard against moisture.
