    Ash is so scarce now we have resorted to putting it directly on the concrete lol.

    The concrete isn’t smoking dumb dumb. It’s cold out and the Crete is wet so what u see is the water evaporation. Then they can put a broom on it and get outa there. We do that in the northeast all winter. We even have guys that heat up rebar to bring internal temp up before finishing. Works great

      Did you just call me a “dumb dumb?”
      That is a first. Thank you.
      I’m not going to arguing that is what they are doing.
      I literally poured a slab in the Northeast-Ish last month.
      You don’t need to torch the surface unless you f-d up and didn’t throw a blanket on it during slow freezes or cold snaps.
      Torching the surface is not my opinion, it’s science. If you torch the surface, especially when it’s frozen, you are up sh-ts creek without a paddle. The surface is done-zo. There are better ways to protect or even rehabilitate the cold, freezing or frozen concrete surface and this ain’t it.
      As for torching the rebar, I love that concept and have used it many times. It’s a lost art form.
      Talking about, have you ever torch the forms, rebar, AND used a concrete mix with 10 gals per cubic yard accelerators?
      We got to do that a few times when pouring in -20 F in Colorado.

      What is ferrock concrete?

    • @prakash.meniya
      @prakash.meniya Před 2 lety +1

      @@IntelligentConcrete Ferrock is created from waste steel dust (which would normally be thrown out) and silica from ground up glass, which when poured and upon reaction with carbon dioxide creates iron carbonate which binds carbon dioxide from the atmosphere into the Ferrock.
      Roughly 95% of the Ferrock is made from recycled materials, Ferrock is both stronger and more flexible than normal Portland cement, allowing it to be used in highly active environments where there is a consideration for seismic activity.
