Ok, I've just met with the concrete representative at the site and he tested the concrete strenght with a test hammer at 14 days and it already reached 200kg/cm2 and by 28 days he says it should reach 225kg/cm2. He will give me a formal report by the end of the day. He explained the Kilogram...

Yes, it could be a relief...or not. I will post the results. Thanks!

Answering to DRC1: Absolutely, if there´s an issue, I leave finger pointing aside and focus on resolving the matter. We all make mistakes, the problem is the cost associated with it. This is a great forum and I am very fortunate. Answering to Dik: Yes, wet curing is currently in the works and...

I agree BAretired, that's why I am waiting until he calls me back this afternoon. Going back to your question regarding the slab, sorry, it's 6.5" overall. Thanks to you all. I will keep you posted.

Answering to engineertipsman: 1-I know because I order it myself. 2-yes, they will remove it based on my word. I already got hold of the engineer, I am waiting for his response.

Answering BAretired: Correct, the overall depth is 9". I've attached the file separately. Let me clarify, it has already been poured, by the time he comes back it will be cured since is has accelerator... If it's a major issue I rather remove the concrete NOW while I can.

Thanks for your response. No, they just pour it today but it has accelerator. Why will it be an issue in the long term? What can be done about it now? I don't want to waste 407ft3 of concrete....

i've just poured a waffle roof slab(flat) of a single family home. The beams are 6"x6" spaced 24" in both directions with 4-#3rebars and its slab is 3". Now here comes my problem. The structural engineer specified the concrete resistance at 200kg/cm2 and they used 150kg/cm2. The structural...

Thanks once again IJR. I agree about a single plate in lieu of the angle for a cleaner look from the bottom. A "C" section should work fine, but why filling it with concrete? regards, AdM

Thanks msquared48, what do you suggest for that int.vertical plate?

Thanks gentlemen for both responses. Answering to IJR: Indeed connection to wall is fatal here. We plan to have a 6"block wall with a strip footing following its perimeter to transfer loads. My question is if we ought to use a diagonal conc. beam acting as a stringer and filling the cells...

Hi everyone, I need assistance to properly frame a cantilever steel tread; I would like the wall to be as slim as possible due to space constrains. Attached is a simple drawing of what I had in mind, but I am completely open to suggestions. However, the tread length must remain and I prefer...
