Sharing is Caring:

When we talk about foundations, there are various types that we can use
depending on the structural design. The types of foundations are Isolated
footing, Combined Footing, Mat Foundations, Strap Foundations, Bored 88
/ 100 BOOKS
Pile, Pile Drive, etc. So in this article, we’ll talk about isolated footing
concrete pouring.

In our project, we do have usually Isolated footing foundations. When I was in my

previous company we had Mat Foundation which I’m going to write a method
statement later. So I’m going to share with you the Method Statement or Procedure on
how we’ll going to pour concrete on the footing foundation.

In your area, is the transfer of concrete on the foundation done through mud
pumps? It would be interesting if you could expand the profession to
transport raw materials with a variety of powerful pumps.

Comment Text*Having a good foundation for a home is such a necessity! So

it is really important that things are done right when it comes to pouring the
concrete. I haven’t done it a lot, so I will need to look into getting help to
ensure things are done right. Reading this article I found it important to know
that truck mixers shouldn’t exceed more than 90 minutes.

REPLY

Ashiqullah Bashari November 19, 2018

Yes 90 minutes is the initial setting time of concrete. But it might be

different in temperature change.

Sir please answer my questions and help me.

1. Sir if we are using ajax mixtures in site, so how much rotation it should
take to mix it?

2. You have said that for vibrators the minimum height should be 400mm of
concrete, but our process of concreting is slow for filling 400mm it will set so
what is the procedure for vibration?

3. We are using 60mm vibrators is it proper, for our OHT?

Hello Sir Noel. Your post is very helpful. May i ask if your company is hiring

I am not sure if they are hiring but it is better that you are here in
UAE. They will not hire from abroad unless they will go to the
Philippines to hire people. What field of civil engineering you
want to work on?

If you are in Abu Dhabi-UAE, the footing should be inspected by the

Municipality Inspector so that is the hold there and also the Materials to be
used like concrete, rebars and the test report for FDT.

sir i have a question about the result of slump test, what if the result is more
than 150mm or less than 100mm? as QA/QC engineer what are we going to
do if this case is happen?

REPLY

Noel Mades February 9, 2014

Both are rejected, it is obvious that the slump did not comply to
the requirements. The slump tolerance which I did not show
which is written like this 125+/-25mm, but before you take action
consult first your Quality Manager.

The slump has to be decide at the time of Design mix it will vary
depends upon grade of concrete and type of structure. In chimney
concrete slump require more ordinary foundations less than
100mm.

Check your design mix accordingly you can proceed.
