Get PriceMar 20, 2018Cast-in-place concrete is the category of concrete that is installed by building a form, usually out of wooden boards or steel, and then pouring the wet and runny concrete mixture into the form before using tools to smooth out the surface. The concrete then dries, through the act of water hydration, and hardens into a solid structure.
Get PriceMore water will make the mixture more workable and fluid, while less water will make the concrete stronger. A good rule of thumb when mixing concrete is to use 6 gallons of water per bag of cement. Step 4 Pour the Concrete. Start at the bottom step and pour concrete one step at a time. Once you've poured the concrete, spread it evenly throughout the form.

Get PricePre-Pour Steps to Speed Up the Drying Process. While a lower measure of water in the concrete mix sounds like an obvious solution, low water-cement ratio mixes typically have fewer capillaries the natural pathways that allow water to move through the slab to the surface. Therefore, even with the reduced amounts of water, slower drying time can result.
