I'm getting ready to pour a floor for a steel building. 40x50x12. Frostline is 32". I had a contractor lined up to do the whole thing and he has flaked out on me so I am thinking about doing a lot of

I welded my rebar and found out it was a bad thing to do, several people here said it weakens the poor quality steel that rebar is made of. I was told and I found out that there is "weldable" rebar

Ron asked: Rebar is the worst possible form of junk recycled steel and presents some challenges to the welder . . try to weld some first before you go to big trouble rigging up. Tony /// unsubscribe/

I put a 36 x 48 slab in a metal building about 6 years ago. All one piece, no control joints or expansion joints, no rebar. Used Fibermesh, adds about $50 to a truck. So far, no visible cracks. Been

I have read that welding the rebar is not good. The bars need to be able to flex & move a bit. Better to just tie it. Dave Russell /// unsubscribe/change address requests to majordomo@autox.team.net

That's a perfectly acceptable way to do it, but it can be tricky. You can run into a problem with holding up the wall forms, especially on a 16 inch wide footing. There are some steel straps made for

I was also a bit concerned about having to leave the forms under/next to the concrete which overtime could create a void. I neglected to mention that I was planning on using vertical pieces of rebar

Do the calcs twice so you order the correct amount and do one pour. Just make sure your forms are STRONG enough - that's a lot of weight. For the floor, use mesh instead of rebar and use wire and wra
