After pouring a concrete sidewalk, it is recommended to keep the surface wet for at least 5 to 7 days to ensure proper curing. This helps to prevent cracking and enhances the strength of the concrete. You can achieve this by misting the surface with water or covering it with wet burlap or plastic sheeting. Maintaining moisture is crucial during the initial curing period, especially in hot or windy conditions.

Is it safe for me to drive on concrete after 5 days of it being poured?
It is generally safe to drive on concrete after 5 days of it being poured, but it is recommended to wait at least 7 days to allow it to fully cure and strengthen.
Should concrete crack within days of being poured?
It could, but it should not crack. Either the grade was not prepared properly, the concrete was used too soon, the concrete was not reinforced, it was allowed to cure too quickly, or some other problem existed.
How should you repair ridges or bulges in newly poured concrete?
To repair ridges or bulges in newly poured concrete, first allow the concrete to cure for at least 24 to 48 hours. Once it has set, use a concrete grinder or a scarifier to level the surface, being careful not to damage the surrounding areas. After grinding, clean the surface thoroughly, then apply a concrete resurfacer to achieve a smooth finish. Finally, let the resurfacer cure according to the manufacturer's instructions.
A lower blank will cause a sidewalk to be warmer than the grass next to it although both are in the sunlight?
A lower albedo (reflectivity) in the sidewalk will cause it to absorb more solar radiation and heat up more than the grass, which reflects more sunlight. The concrete sidewalk has a higher heat capacity compared to grass, which also contributes to it being warmer.

Side walk is warmed by the heat of the sun physical or chemical?
The sidewalk being warmed by the heat of the sun is a physical process. The sun's rays transfer heat energy to the sidewalk through radiation, causing the molecules in the sidewalk to vibrate more rapidly and increase in temperature. This is a physical change as no new substances are being formed in this process.
What is the difference between brick veneer and brick masonry?
Masonry implies bricks, blocks, or stones held together with mortar. Bricks are fired ceramic. Blocks are usually formed concrete. And stones are formed naturally and quarried from the earth. They are held together with mortar. Concrete is used as mortar, but concrete can also be poured to make slabs and foundations. I think the difference is that concrete can be used by itself without being considered masonry. For example, even statues can be made from concrete by pouring them into a mold.
