I this video I’m showing a small 23×23 floating concrete slab I built, this is just a DIY, the slab has a permit and passed inspection. I am building the garage in an area where the lake is…

nice! …….Looks like your half Mexican 😛 😀 you should get a job rebar
busting ! “All jokes aside , very clean,tight and right ! I OCD people can
do anything they set their minds to :D
Really great instructional. I am going to be doing a similar project and
I’m really starting to think that a floating slab is the way to go, as
opposed to doing an in-ground footing. Thanks.
Man, your work is done better than most professionals who build garage
floor.
Yep looks pretty good other than not enough bar overlap at the corners. You
need to maintain the same required overlap(x times rebar diameter) at every
rebar junction so all the corners should have been bent into “L” shaped
sections. Surprised the inspector didn’t make you change that. Also agree
that all the rebar should be inside the concrete. That is why the
foundation bolts are usually specced as galvanized. The cage like the mesh
is usually just blocked up with the blocks being removed as the pour
progresses. It can also be hung by wire loop with the wire pulled out as
the pour progresses, or be hung by the foundation bolts held in frames
attached to wood brackets nailed to the forms.
Man you think you made the concrete think enough are you planning on
parking a d8 bulldozer on it ? I built a 30×30 shop and i work on boats and
trucks and I only went 4 inches think and no rebar or wires mesh just added
fiber to the concrete and it is still as strong as the day I had it poured
and it is 5 years old and I have had some big heavy boats on it and trucks
and it still hasn’t cracked I did put crushed stone done before that is it
.
all you armchair engineers, go outside and do your own project and quit
giving us your stupid comments…this guy did an excellent job.
its almost a piece of art, then it gets covered in concrete! Some
scientists and engineers need to work out how much concrete is really
required to support these buildings I swear all this concrete and iron is
over spec’d. We have 2 story houses in London built on virtually no
foundations and they’ve been around for over 100 years.
Great job! One thing else apart from some of the other constructive
comments. From what I could see, all your rebar that ran parallel to the
forms was much too close to the forms. You want at least a 3″ gap between
the rebar and the form. Anything less weakens the edge because, as any
engineer, concrete finisher, etc. will tell you, anything less than 3″ in
thickness decreases the psi significantly. Otherwise, pretty good job!
I think you used too much concrete. It’s not going to hurt, but you spent
a lot of extra money. 4″ thick with well packed base in the center will
hold up vehicles just fine. A thickened outer perimeter is a good idea,
but a little thick for such a small building.
Next time do not drive rebar into the ground that is within your slab. It
will allow moisture to travel up the rebar into the slab and continue
throughout the slab over time.
by the way whats the purpose of the plastic under the mesh?
you are missing corner bars and the laps on the wire mesh are short
Good Job !
Here the rebar overlap must be 15 diameters of the bar, 1/2 ” bar = 7″ of
overlap.
the overlap depends on the size of the rebar
hi kurt question whats the purpose of the rock placed under the rebar? for
leveling or for the concrete pour to slide in between the rebars?
Ok vid made a long time ago I get that, but SERIOUSLY DO NOT pound the
rebar into the ground. Use your bricks and a short piece of rebar to hold
them apart. The rebar is now exposed to moisture in dirt and WILL rust over
time. The rust will enter your slab causing expansion and cracks causing
issues that could have been avoided. If you isolate your rebar from air and
water with the concrete it will do its job and not break your slab apart.
The ones in the ground are only used to hold the large 4 main rods in
place, so if they rot away doesn’t really matter, there are other ways of
doing this were you don’t have to hammer any rods into the ground, you have
to build a cage of re-bars. The concrete finishers just lay it in as they
go but the inspectors want to see the rods in place if your doing it
yourself.
this was nice, 1 thing I did was bend the rebar for the corners but either
way its a nice job
Thanks a lot I appreciate the great comment and you subscribing
totally cool. great videos. thanks man.
Thanks for taking the time to leave the professional advise, at the time I
wanted to overlap the corners the way you described but I couldn’t bend the
5/8 rod, also ran out of mesh just before the pour. If I ever build another
slab I will try and have all the right equipment on site before proceeding.
hey no problem! hit me up if you ever need any rebar help 🙂 if your in
southern california and need any rebar placed let me know i could use some
work works crappy here lol
Just happened to find your videos. I think they are great. Through your
videos I find tips and tricks for making projects easier, and ways to work
I never would have thought of. I just subscribed, keep them coming.
nice job
What happened to the days when things where done properly?
Warning: music may make this seem much cooler than it actually is.

Is it environmentally safe?
Anyone knows the music playing in the background?
