The amount of water to add to ready mix concrete typically ranges from 5 to 7 gallons per cubic yard, depending on the specific mix and desired consistency. It's important to follow the manufacturer's recommendations and adjust based on environmental conditions and the intended use of the concrete. Over-watering can weaken the mix, while under-watering can lead to inadequate hydration. Always measure carefully to achieve the best results.

For premixed concrete, the typical water-to-cement ratio is about 0.4 to 0.6 by weight. For 20 kg of premixed concrete, you would generally add approximately 8 to 12 liters of water, depending on the desired consistency and specific product instructions. Always check the manufacturer's guidelines for the best results.

Can you apply wet concrete to dry concrete?
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.
What is the effect to the concrete mixture if the sand use is damped?
The presence of moisture in sand will add considerable water to the mix. If the total water is not adjusted to compensate, the mix will have too much water. Excessive water is the single most common cause of poor concrete. I makes a weaker mix and makes the concrete less resistant to freeze-thaw cycles. It will take a longer time before you can add floor coverings in the case of building slabs. JDCengr
