large blob of concrete - How many lifts?
large blob of concrete - How many lifts?
(OP)
I have a 150 kip 11 feet diam. tank that I am doing a foundation for. There are basements of an existing buildings directly adjacent to the tank. I was thinking of pouring a 10' deep x 12'X12' concrete blob in the ground to ensure no lateral pressure against the basement walls.
I was planning on using lean concrete.
My question is:
Do I have to worry about heat of hydration for this much concrete? What lift htg is acceptable and how much time between lifts?
I was planning on using type IIA concrete. Not too concerned if there is minor cracking.
Thanks

Are you concerned that the concrete pressure during casting will cause the basement walls to fail.
