We are here to answer YOUR questions!
Comment below any questions you have.
Even tho you made this video 1 year ago, I learned something today. Thx
You are welcome. Thanks for letting us know!!!
Why would the release date have anything to do with whether one learns or not?
Thanks Dr, I enjoy your video, very helpful. Plus it's cool how you include your son, good job!
Thanks!!! He’s a great kid.
For smaller home projects, it appears the math works out to 1-3/4 table spoons of sugar per 80lb bag of concrete.
DO NOT GO TO FLIXZONE.
It's a scam to get your credit card information
We have learned so much ! Thanks a bunch Dr Belkowitz !
You’re welcome!!!
imagine explaining to the missus why her kitchen aid has concrete coatings on everything
Have you ever tried to harden wood by letting it dry in cement powder under a vacuum? The cellulose should absorb the cement as the wood expels its moisture. Putting it under pressure may help keep the board straight and bring fresh cut over sized closer to its final size without processing it further. I have a feeling that Starlite was made in a similar way but different chemicals.
Will try and get back to you.
You could also try adding hydrated lime ..
When baking sugar is considered a liquid ingredient to be added with the liquids instead of the dry. thus it may be interesting to reduce the water volume by the amount of sugar added this also explains the increased liquidity causing more slump.
Interesting Justin. Thanks for the idea.
Most of the additives come premixed and look like maple syrup. "Retarder" - is some form of sugar that is usually brownish color so you would know if you added retarder or not.
I know this is an older video but I would like to know if making planters or pots for flowers and vegetables would be OK with a quick Crete or cement all I’ve heard that giving it a water bath helps to leach out the lime so it doesn’t affect the plants is that true?
Nice info , thank you
Glad it was helpful!
I think I've been waiting for this channel
Thanks Matt

The sugar reacts as a water retention additive as well as a retarder, we use a high amounts of granular sugar in the mill process for Type-S Mortar, clinker + limestone + milling aid additives + sugar
Can you help suggesting a form of avoid capilarity on mortars? A sort of cutting edge to ascending water that way. Thank you from Ibiza. What about ants after working with sugar?
I operate a 36 meter schwing pump truck. I keep a coffee can of sugar in the side cabinet. If it looks like the concrete starts to blow up during a poor. I dump some in the hopper before I pull my sponge back. Really helps on clean up. Sugar keeps it from getting thick and sticky.
Boom! Well said. Have you ever used Coke or Dr Pepper?
@@IntelligentConcrete yes coke. And Gatorade works well. It's always on a job site in the summer
@@anthonyscott3847does cocaine work?
Hi. I was wondering if you can help me.
I’m trying to get an answer and mostly I’m getting guessing.
I’m building an outdoor porcelain patio. (Tile is 24 by 24 inches 3/4 quarter thick). And I can’t get a straight answer about what to use in order to connect it to the 4 inch concrete slab I’ve made. So far the answer include tinset, mortar and Portland cement. Thank you in advance.
I had a friend in the ready mix business...he told me they kept pallets of sugar at the plant. If a mixer got caught in what would be a prolonged traffic jam on the highway (crash?) they'd load a pallet onto a pickup, get out there and load the drum with the sugar. He said it "killed" the set. He said its scary when you're trying to travel up the shoulder and way up you see your equipment rockin' side to side! The sugar breaks it up.
This is true. Or a bucket of delvo
what Cement can I BUY, just to add Water to and have STRONG HOLDING power? I soak Towels/Rags in Cement to make Flow Pot. Let me know,,, Thanks Hellen
That's interesting, so suger acts like a super plasticizer kind of, I do all kinds of experiments with Portland to help improve Aircrete for the diy dome home builders and a cheap easily accessible water reducer would definitely help.
closer to a retarder than plasticizer
Did you end up trying this out with a monolithic dome?
@@Null-Red-Blue No, I've found that adding shredded styrofoam beads can stabilize Aircrete say if you are using dish soap as the foaming agent. It helps keep the foam from collapsing.
I am NOT surprised to find a comment from you, Herger!! I just found this series of videos and I am STOKED!!
hi... so... how did this
hypothesis work out. ? im trying to find the follow up on this
Here you go Flem,

Ive read about this on Design of Reinforced Concrete Structures where cement mixer truck drivers put sugar whenever they get stuck on a traffic.
Cho em hỏi ngoài đường còn có thêm phụ gia gì mà dẻo vậy
in cooking, sugar is considered part of the wet ingredients, now i get why
first time running into this channel. have you already tried adding boric acid?
Not yet Josue but we plan on it
Good job✅👍
Thanks ✌
Not sure if you are still doing this series, but would love to know if you can color cement with charcoal powder.
Awesome question. I’m sure you can but it more than likely will have a negative impact on the fresh and hardened properties.
You probably know this but the standard is Iron oxide powder for coloring cement.
You have a KitchenAid mixer and you use it for concrete?
Damon Crumley it’s a Hobart mixer specified by ASTM C 305. Basically a beefed up kitchen aid mixer but we only use it for mortars and grouts, never concrete.
Isn't plasticizer also a replacement for water. Cause less water is better when mixing concrete. I do believe when one adds more plasticizer one needs to also decrease the amount of water one is using.
Please tell about green cement
So how much sugar should I add to slow the set (as much as possible) per 60lb bag of pre-mixed cement?
Start with a cup and see how that goes. It all depends on your local mix. What will work for you won’t for us in Jersey.
In Italy we use the sugar to make a concrete surface with “aggregate to view”.
It’s called exposed aggregate in the US
Could I add sugar to masonry mortar mix to slow down the reaction time but Weaken not the strength?
Theoretically, yes.
Is adding hydraulic lime with sugar and traditional concrete ok ? Like course aggregate, cement,stone and metal ?
That’s a good question that I haven’t look at yet in the lab. We’ll take a look and let you know.
What to add if you want concrete clay? Flour?
The wife is going to be pissed when she sees her kitchen-aid.
Yep!!!
I know it's an old post, but does having sugar have implication in bacterial growth and health concerns if/when buildings are made this way?
Could if there is an abundant of growth of the biological. There can be residual sugars left over in the concrete.
So were the part two of it?were is the strength test of it?slum test is ok, but stregth test is much better..test it before prove it
Very good. You caught me ...lol
Have you ever tried using granite powder in concrete mix to see if it can form a solid brick? Granite powder, lime, volcanic ash, sea water?
U, sir, have been doing ancient concrete research! Haha me too. Theres granite powder and quartz crystal powder and ground glass powder, all those in aggregate size chunks too. Theres synthetic fiber additives to give strength like straw bricks, but wont rot and fire resistant, fiberglass fibers, plastic fibers, some people r figuring out how to add graphene!
The volcanic ash is a must for sure. And im sure theres liquid additives we could add to the salt water for diff effects, might even mix cement mix with epoxy resin instead, see how that works out.
Iv always wanted to build a house out of multi ton granite blocks like the pyramids. Made right, that house will be usable for over 6000yrs.
Or buy a small granite mountain and carve it up from the inside out into a mansion made of one single granite rock (the small mountain). That would last prob millions!
@@dustinbrandel59 that granite mansion would be epic.
That slump in cm or inches ?
I want to increase the thermal capacity of concrete doing research it undergraduate level would like to help me in it ??
What's the sugar ratio to concrete or water??? By volume or by weight???
Check out czcams.com/video/A5d0OmcqzsA/video.html.
That food/cement mixer.
Plz rate the brand name and size of mixer.
Thank you.
The mixer is a Hobart, N50-60 Heavy Duty. I L-O-V-E this mixer. We’ve been using it non-stop for the last 12 years.
@@IntelligentConcrete $2600 bucks. I'm a hobbyist, not a millionaire.
Thanks for the comeback.
Im gonna try sugar, flour, and eggs and make a croncrete cake. Thanks for the idea. Haha.
Awesome!!!!!
Sir can you please make video on accelerators ??
Will do, stay tuned.
Unrelated to this particular video but you know your stuff so.....
I keep reading that cement on its own is not very strong at all and is just a binder. But just watched a video where pure cement withstood 8000psi and concrete failed at 2500psi. So is it really weak on its own ?
I'm making some concrete statuary and had two questions. Are the larger stones necessary for strength or will sand suffice .
Second , I want to add some designs to my statuary by hand using pure cement as a sand mixture will not flow if I put it into a piping bag. Will using pure cement be a bad idea ? If so how do I make a sand mixture flow enough to be piped out of a bag . I just tried it and the sand compacts and does not extrude thru the nozzle . Thanks
Howdy Robert,
Cement on its own is one ingredient in the concrete mixture. The ultimate strength and durability is based on the amount of water, type and amount of rock and sand, as well as chemicals. I think its always good to use a concrete (cement, rock, sand, water) as much as your mold will allow you. Using a neat cement paste often leads to shrinkage and cracking.
So, can we use sugar as a plasticizer or water reducer such that for the same amount of water the mix becomes more workable?
No. I would use a super plasticizer, a plasticizer, or an old school water reducer.
How about liquid soap as a plasticizer to make mortar or concrete more workable.....here in south spain we use fairy
Dr Sir,
Can you please guide me that what chemicle is added to cement concreate dry mixture so that the mixture expands in volume when added with water. It is some powder which reacts and causes the mixture to expand.
I know about foam,
I shall be obliged.
Thanks.
Stay Blessed.

Normally air entraining agents. Fritz pak sells two products that are available to purchase. You might need to get a few cases.
@@IntelligentConcrete kindly elaborate the name of chemical. I shall be thankful.
Stay Blessed.
RGDS Ansar
@@IntelligentConcrete can you please tell me generic name of the chemical which causes expansion in cement water. This is generally use in light weight concreate in replacement of foaming agent. It is some aluminium based powder!!
What about adding salt? The Romans made concrete that would harden under water. Scientists have found that the salt water makes it harder.👷
Salt has been added to concrete a lot in the past as sodium is a cheap and powerful accelerant and antifreeze, unfortunately along with an efficacious dose of salt comes a lot of chloride, which wreaks absolute havoc on steel reinforcement and corrodes the concrete from the inside out. As far as Roman cement, the salt in the seawater used to make it is just a small part of the equation in which many other minerals in that water could be bigger contributing factors to the concrete’s durability. Not too mention our common mindedness Portland cement easily hardens underwater as well, it’s actually quite beneficial to the curing process and has always been known as such.
check hardness not at 28 days. Maybe 28 years?
No follow up video about strength?
Coming soon!!!

Wow!
Thank you!!!
i'm still not straight on it. adding sugar strengthens the concrete?
Ask beta boy just makes it taste sweeter! I’m just as lost as you! This is one a the poorest conveyance videos I’ve ever seen!
Thanks for the feedback Marc.
Howdy Stephen. Yes, adding sugar can lead to a stronger concrete. This is ultimately caused by a higher degree of cement that has dissolved and then reacted with available water. Bear in mind that if too much sugar is used, you can put the concrete to sleep and strength development can be delayed for long periods of time or not completely develop.
How much weight of sugar your added to cement weight ?
Howdy Rifay, it depends on your mix and needs to delay the time of set / strength development.
Blood is also added to concrete.
Back in the day, yes.
There is a Patent on it the process:
Use of blood in the cement, mortar and concrete industry for obtaining a lightened material, US4203674A.
At this point its expired and there are easier and more legal ways of entraining air in concrete.
How do I make concrete that will last a very long time exposed to the elements?
how to make now Cement dries quickly
Add an accelerator. I assume you mean harden faster.
Is there anything I can mix with concrete to make it stick to wood to create wall art?
Possibly lime. You could also prime the wood with an acrylic primer before you put on the concrete.
@@IntelligentConcrete Thanks. I appreciate the information. I’m gonna try that
Curing concrete vs no curing concrete strength test ..video uploaded please...
Can do!!!
On the board for the next video.
Is there a follow-up on this one on concrete with sugar? Would like to see a test on the strength of those samples! Also, as a layman, I have a question, namely, is there any initially water soluble extra ingredient to add to a concrete mix that once dried will act as a water proofing agent?
Here are the results:
czcams.com/video/GjHdTRYLtpE/video.html
There are a bunch of water proofing admixtures for concrete.
ConBlock CDA, Hycrete, and so on.
A quick google search can get you more info.
@@IntelligentConcrete thank you!
I wonder what would happen by adding latex coated perlite with basalt and titanium fibers to Portland 🧐 🤔
Maybe throw in some super plasticizer and shredded styrofoam for kicks.
good to know if your neighborhood is being gentrified :)
.
what about molasses and mineralized(spring water)????
Flippin awesome question!!!! We’ll get on this for a QnA.
How about cookies and ice cream? Sammy boy ull get that one, beta boy ull bake it! Terrible time wasted watching horrible verbal conveyance music annoying!
in india we use jaggery
Awesome!
Sugar additive is interesting 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼. I have a question: is there a cheap cost or cheap alternative to the fiber material for fiber reinforced concrete? Is it just plane fibreglass strands?
Great point! Yes there inexpensive alternatives but bear in mind you might be sacrificing strength of the fiber, how well it bonds to the cementitious matrix, or the durability of the fiber for that price reduction.
I bought a big roll of fiberglass mesh used in repairing large drywall. Cut in strands and mix with mortar/cement or lay thicker strips for forming shapes.
Cut your hair and trow it in there old school
@@keithcaverly6832 😂🤣
My cement bags from last year got hard. Can I still use them to make planters or do I have to throw them away. Damn that would hurt cause I have 8 bags lol
Toss them.
@@IntelligentConcrete ok
Hang on to that mask, you'll need it in 2020.
Are you serious? What about compressive strength? One of the most important..
you should use spent coffee grounds
Good job Sammy
im making cement chairs withouts steel on its legs.
More sugar makes sweeter concrete .
👍
What were the strength results?

That is a great question Effy, will the sugars in honey have the same impact as the processed sugar.
We would need to do a solids content of the honey and then adjust the design water to take into account the water that is brought by the honey for the mix.
But yeah, challenge accepted Effy...

Even before they were Hindus.
Well hindus were there before jesus came🤣😂

For slowing down the set time?
Don't put sugar in concrete, sugar is what destroys concrete.
This like the dumbest experment ever i just don't get why someone would purposely add sugar to concrete
Thanks for the feedback Jerry. Sugars and salts have been used in concrete for a while now to slow down and accelerate concrete setting times and more.
If you have never worked with cement/concrete with look stupid. Let's say you send out 3 cement trucks to a job that is 1 hour away, and time for traffic, plus position down time at jobsite; if your base mix is unpumpable after 90 minutes you are royally screwed!
Or if you are mixing right at jobsite and have large volume, it allows you to pump in one continuous load.
