BONDING EXISITNG CONCRETE TO NEW CONCRETE
BONDING EXISITNG CONCRETE TO NEW CONCRETE
(OP)
I have a project where concrete was placed over a month ago, and now the next pour is scheduled at this joint. Should I be asking for a bonding product at the joint. When would you require this.

I like to debate structural engineering theory -- a lot. If I challenge you on something, know that I'm doing so because I respect your opinion enough to either change it or adopt it.

Frankly, I'm surprised that you need the composite action for two reasons:
1) I wouldn't think that a relatively small, 2' square cap would contribute much to slab flexural resistance and;
2) It's quite common to have a delay between pile cap pours and suspended slab pours.
