Grout in Concrete Pour
Grout in Concrete Pour
(OP)
My civil guy is going to be making a pour tomorrow and wants to know if he can use the yard of grout ordered to prime the pump and place it in the corners of the slab that will be filled with concrete. He said it was 'honeycombed' - it is not, but it is a bit uneven. The rebar is in place, with epoxy, and of the right number and grade of bars. I have looked through my code books and cannot find anything particular; however, I keep thinking about something I was told a long time ago about not repairing (so to speak) one product-concrete with another-grout. Anyone?

I would tell him to use the grout elsewhere and make the entire pour from the approved mix and not take on the liability for using something different than approved.
