Ready for the truck
After years of debating between a deck and patio, and a few more years of procrastinating, I decided
Rebar is dowelled into the foundation with a 2 foot deep integral footer around the perimeter. Ought to be enough to hold me By my calculation, it's going to take 11 or 12 yards of concrete. I hope the truck comes with some Mexicans Sent from my SM-G950U using Tapatalk

Looks good.
I might have made it bigger but we can always deck it out farther.

Looking good! I recently did a 26' x 36' with 1' wide footings 32" deep for my new loafing shed. It was re-bared and vapor barrier-ed the same way. Footings and pinned like that are the way to go.
Are you sure on the 11 or 12 yds? I'm gonna guess half that. |

Looking good! My only caveat would be to throw a little more steel in it. I went on 12" centres using 16mm bar with nary a crack after 4yrs... Concrete is gonna crack, get your control joints in the first 24hrs.
But thats just my over-engineered kraut ways..... I hope you have a Margarita christening and enjoy!! Dirk |

2 footers 1' wide, 2' deep 10' long = 40 cu ft 1 footer 12 ft long = 24 cu ft 64 cf / 9 = 7.1 cu yards. For the footers alone Plus the rest of the slab at about 6" deep Am I figuring that wrong? Sent from my SM-G950U using Tapatalk

YES. There are 27 cubic feet in a cubic yard. Your / 9 calculation equals a square yard. The two footers are both 1' wide, with a combined length of 32' and 24"(2') deep. 32' x 2' x 1 = 64 CF / 27 x 2.37 Cu. The rest is 10' x 12' x .5' = 60 CF / 27 = 2.2 CU. 2.37 + 2.2 = 4.57 CU. I'd order a 5 CY load.

Ah yes, that pesky 3rd dimension
And this is why I am not in construction Also likely explains that last dropped call you experienced. Thank goodness I'm not the one ordering it They showed up this morning and poured it. 5 yards is a LOT of concrete! Sent from my SM-G950U using Tapatalk

Looking at the weather report, that won't be a big problem.

Typically, they want 60 percent of compressive strength before you start putting weight on top. That can only be measured if they took field cylinders and break them in a machine to determine what the strength us measuring.
Was this early strength concrete, or just typical 3000 psi?

It's been 4 or 5 days and it doesn't have to hold much weight. At least not yet.
Progressing nicely Sent from my SM-G950U using Tapatalk
