How do I put in a concrete driveway?
Dig out app. 10 inches of soil. Fill 6 inches of hardpack (crushed concrete). This is for drainage and frost heave prevention. Bring in the concrete truck after renting floats and trowels and building frame. The whole driveway should be surrounded by 1X wood or PVC particle board sprayed with wd 40. The side of the 1X facing away from the concrete should have spikes in the ground and fastened to the board. You level the concrete to the top of these boards. It's like a big frame surrounding the project and you should take your time in building it, for level, runoff and evenness. Have a wheelbarrel and a few extra hands ready (the driver charges by the minute after a certain amount of time). The concrete should be fiber reinforced mix. This type eliminates the need for metal screening or fencing over the hardpack and suspended in the concrete for strength. Be advised, if you're in a snowy region, salt will be your only advisary, don't use it, salt eats concrete. You also need to put in stress gaps from side to side every 8 feet or more depending on width. When the concrete cracks it will crack along these lines. You do this when the concrete starts setting up but is still soft. Finish trowel all the edges. Screen the concrete with a long board across the width (from board top to board top and then use the float to smooth it. Keep a few wheel barrells full of concrete ready so you can get rid of the truck and still have concrete for leveling and fill after a majority of the concrete has been shovelled in. A tool rental agency may have tips and advice also.
Why is ready mix concrete required in place of on site mixing of concrete?
That requirement is not true of all jurisdictions. In many areas you can mix onsite if you wish. There may have been lobbying by environmental groups or even cement companies to cause this requirement in your area. The point is why would you mix onsite? Unless you have a very small job or great distance to transport the cement to the job, it is more efficient, cheaper, and cleaner to use ready mix. It is cost effective. Some construction site require site mixing just to save time and money.

What is meant by Workability of Concrete?
In case of long haul involved in delivering ready-mixed concrete to the site of work, concrete is mixed intermittently to reduce the bad effect of continuous mixing. A pertinentpoint to note in this connection is that when the concrete is mixed or agitated from time to time with a short interval, the normal rule of initial setting time is not becoming applicable.The concrete that is kept in agitation, does not exactly follow the setting time rule as applicable to concrete kept in an unagitated and quiescent condition.workability is the ease and homogenity with which the concrete can be mixed , transported , poured , consolidated and finishedThe more the water cement ratio the more workable the concrete will be , but it does not mean that we should keep on increasing water cement ratio because it will decrease the strength and will cause bleeding and segregation of concrete 08ce69 quaid e awam university nawabshah
