Division 3 Concrete
Concrete can be applied or poured

Division 3 Concrete
http://www.everything-about-concrete.com/concrete-mixing-ratios.html

This is the stage of residential construction that the

following are poured and installed:
1. Foundations
2. Curbs
3. Footings

4. Retaining walls

Division 3 Concrete
Mesh wiring, anchor bolts, and steel reinforcement

Division 3 Concrete Key Pts

Pour the proper depth
Concrete should normally be
temperatures above 40 degrees

poured

in

Each area has a freeze level: 3 ft deep (Philly)

When pouring concrete outside always at least 3
in of stones or pebbles on concrete bed

When pouring concrete inside always use stone

and a vapor barrier, such as plastic

Division 3 Concrete
http://www.everything-about-concrete.com/concrete-mixing-ratios.html

A concrete mixture ratio of 1 part cement, 3 parts

sand, and 3 parts aggregate will produce a concrete
mix of approximately 3000 psi.

Mixing water with the cement, lime, sand, and stone

will form a paste that will bind the materials together
until the mix hardens.

Mixing ratio to make 1 yard of concrete

To produce a 3000 psi cubic yard of concrete (27 cubic
feet) the concrete mixture ratio is:
1. 517 pounds of cement
2. 1560 pounds of sand
3. 1600 pounds of stone

4. 32 - 34 gallons of water

Division 3 Concrete

This mixing ratio will give you a concrete mix that is

strong, durable, and good for most concrete projects.
A cubic yard of concrete will fill an area 8 feet wide by
10 feet long by 4 inches thick, or 80 square feet @ 4
inches thick.

Division 3 Concrete

At 6 inches thick a cubic yard of concrete will fill an area

________ square feet
At 5 inches thick, a cubic yard of concrete will fill an
area that is _____square feet.

3-14 days depending on the type of concrete (1-5)

The avg maximum strength is 7 days.
