Time Limit Between Concrete Placements
Time Limit Between Concrete Placements
(OP)
Is there an allowable time limit for successive placements of concrete during a monolithic pour to prevent a cold join? Are there any standards for this?
I know that it will depend on the mix, curing conditions, and whether the present concrete is being properly agitated to prevent it from setting. But I would like to get a feel for what the possible range this time limit would be.

Colder weather lets you a longer delay time, or a shorter?

Check with concrete suppliers.

Our spec says 90 minutes max, except 60 minutes for hot weather conditions, which I believe is generous to the benefit of the contractor in most circumstances.
