Can you pour concrete on a concrete floor with an epoxy coating?

You must remove the old epoxy coating before pouring the new floor, for otherwise there will be no bonding. If the epoxy coating is thin (e.g, paint) then it may be possible to remove it by hand sanding. If it is a thick coating, then sandblasting is probably the best method. In either case, appropriate dustmasks and other safety precautions are essential. Good luck

How do you build a floor on sloping concrete?
it can be done == you can pour self leveling cement mixture over old concrete but you must first rough up surface of old concrete then put bonding agent then mix self leveling mix very wet so you can pour from high spot and it will run to lower areas . Use wood furring strips ripped at an angle to compensate for the angle in the sloped concrete.

No. Concrete won't bond to concrete. It will end up cracking.
What is a monolithic pour?
A pour of concrete, all at a single time. Also called a one-pour system. Contrast with two-pour system. At the same time you pour the floor, you are going to pour the perimeter footings. This is called a monolithic pour (or monolithic slab).

How do you mix premix cement to lay over an existing badly laid cement floor in storeroom?
You will need existing floor to be clean and dry. Layering concrete like this is called a cold joint. Concrete does not like cold joints. That I why big jobs like the cn tower and Hoover dam are all one pour basically. If you have to do cold joints, clean base floor, rent a sacrifice tool at a rent shop, rough up the floor as much as possible, clean all dirt and dust again, cover floor with a bonding agent from a box store, pour new concrete. Over 2" is recommended. Another way to get it to hold is to drill holes into base floor or even put various concrete screws in base floor with just the heads sticking up a little bit so new concrete can grab.

Is a floor frame for a metal shed and is it an alternative if you dont have a concrete ground for it to be put on?
yes you can use a framed floor for a metal shed, however you may want to pour a concrete footer (stem wall) to keep the wood up off the ground, or use concrete blocks to support it. And use pressure treated wood.

Can you pour concrete on concrete to fix an uneven surface for garden shed foundations?
Sorry.No, it will not stick, and if you use quick-rite, it will end up chipping sooner rather than later. Long answer.There are three challenges to resurfacing concrete.Firstly Interslab adhesion: to get wet concrete to stick to dry concrete an adhesive is necessary.Secondly minimum slab thickness: Concrete typically does not have the strength to stick to it's self if it gets too thin (3" typical). Special blends can overcome this by having smaller minimum thickness, but these blends tend to have smaller maximum thickness as well. for example one polymer modified concrete can go down as thin as 1/4" but has a maximum thickness of one inch.Thirdly layered systems do not have uniform porisity and can be more vulnerable to water and salts than a monolithic slab, and should be sealed.I Agree with what this person has said. But there are alternatives to fix your existing floor. Depending on how bad the existing floor is, you can power wash the existing concrete floor and place an epoxy floor on top of the bad concrete. If you want to know what an epoxy floor looks like, a lot of schools have epoxy floors. Ever pay attention and realize a schools floor looks like linoleum, but there are no seams. That's because it is an expoxy surface spread over a concrete floor.There are many alternatives to patching and repairing your floor, but standard concrete on top of an existing concrete slab doesn't hold up well.For this application I would recommend a "self-leveling compound" which is also called "self-leveling grout". It is a thin mixture designed to flow evenly and level out hills and bumps in concrete (or stable wooden sub-floors) prior to applying ceramic tiles. But it can also be used to cover/level cracks or dips such as a floor that originally was sloped for a drain. Once dry and cured you can put any covering you want on it.
