These will be installed in an existing 5" thick concrete deck. I am looking to avoid having to break up the concrete around all of these drains since it will be polished concrete and would like a consistent finish on the floor.
The joists are on 2'0 centers. Slab is roughly 8000 sf. I was referring more to how the 3000 psi concrete (which was spec) would react and perform at 3.5" on the galvanized deck with no rebar or wire mesh. Rebar would be difficult, because with only 3" of concrete there would not be enough cover unless it was laid on the bottom.
One-story commercial building, roof deck is prefab concrete panels. For complex reasons, I am unable to do a test drilling and I need to come up with a best case/worst case price range. I have mechanically fastened EPDM to numerous lightcrete decks, but I am not familiar with the prefab concrete panels, and how easy/difficult they may be to ...
I'm curious as to how you all handle your deck posts and footings. I've always poured the footings to grade and then attach the posts to the footers with some type of post base. But I've seen (as late as yesterday) a builder placing the post in about a foot of concrete in the footer hole and then filling the remainder up with dirt.
I have used this method to patch concrete decks and core drill holes in public pool walls. If you use the 10K non-shrink grout we have patched holes up to 12" in diameter without doweling. This will result in a very strong and leak-proof patch. The ones we have done in pools hold back a 4' to 6' head of water.
Cutting down a concrete pier. I'm doing a job now where my landscaper kind of screwed me by telling me he'd work around the height of my concrete piers with his pavers. Long story short, I have the deck built more or less and now he want's me to cut 6" off the tops of the 12" piers to permit the pavers to run over the tops of the piers.
It works fine, but they want big $ for it. Only difference between Azek glue and regular plumbers glue is the Azek stuff has a little longer open time. Get the plumber stuff and work fast! Steve. Reply Like. A. AutumnWood Inc. 1968 posts · Joined 2007. #9 · Sep 9, 2010.
I remember seeing the city of austin approve there use on a commercial deck that went around a historic oak tree where they could not dig footings. A bed crushed granite a certain # of inches thick & one of those blocks every 4'. It was on a ground level deck. I didn't get the bid, but it was built.
The top of concrete footing above ground or (or the post itself) provides source for heat transfer from the concrete to the surrounding dirt or air, keep in mind that concrete is a very good conductor of heat and the change from moisture to ice requires that heat transfer.
I have a project to install new deck around an above ground pool, the new deck will be in the same approximate location that an existing grade level stand alone deck is currently located. The old deck seems to have been done properly. So after removing there are 9 footings in which I may be able to re-use for the new deck.
