Yes, you can. You should clean the dry concrete with water and a brush first, and you should use a bonding agent (available pretty much anywhere you buy concrete) for optimal adhesion. You may also wish to add reinforcement such as rebar.

Is wet concrete stronger than dry concrete?

no


Can you lay wet concrete on dry concrete?

This may be possible if you prep the dry concrete with a latex bonding agent.


Is unset concrete heaver than set concrete?

No, not relly. You might get a bit of water evaporation but generaly 1 cubic meter of concrete is about 2.2 tons, wet or dry. Regards Colin


What is the Difference between wet concrete and hard concrete?

Wet Concrete:In Wet concrete the property of the concrete is suggested based on the individual material contribution .Hardened Concrete:In Hardened concrete the property of the concrete is identified as a whole.


Is wet concrete heavier then dry concrete?

Concrete is made of a mixture of cement, aggregate (small stones), fine aggregate (sand), water and other chemical additives. When mixed the wet concrete will remain so for Most people assume that set concrete has no water in it, this is not so, as the water content helps bond the aggregates and cement, this process is known as Hydration. Concrete with no water in it would crumble to dust. Adding more water to the mix will make a concrete that is easier to work, while less water will produce a stronger, more durable concrete. After initial setting of the concrete, a slow amount of water loss is expected due to the concrete drying, it can take anything up to a year for water to stop evaporating slowly out of the concrete. So for this reason the answer to your question is yes, dry, set concrete will weigh less than wet concrete, but for anything up to a year it will keep getting lighter, due to waterloss.

What does the s mean in concrete?

The 's' stands for 'slump'. How wet the concrete is. S1 is prity dry (for laying kerb stones). S2 is wet (for foundations). S3 is very wet (pump mixes). Regards Colin, a Tarmac concrete batcher. 2nd Answer: It should be noted that the concrete should be as dry as practical to enable it to attain the highest potential strength. Concrete should never be so wet that it flows into the forms like tomato soup. In foundations in particular, you want the best strength you can get, as the entire structure will apply force to them. It should take some handwork with shovels to "ker-chunk" the concrete into the nooks and crannies of the forms. For vertical forms, using a 'stinger' or vibratory device is preferred to settle the concrete into all the nooks and crannies. A 4" slump is about as wet as you want the concrete mix to be. If you pick up a handful (with gloves) of fresh concrete and mold it into a fat cigar shape, it should hold that shape when you open your fingers. When the concrete mix comes down the chute of the delivery truck, it should stand up on the ground in a little hill, but with some spreading out, too. For all but the dry structural concretes, you can increase the fresh concrete's slump (wetter) by adding 1 gallon of water for each cubic yard of concrete for each additional inch of slump desired.
