How To Pour Concrete Basement Walls

Показать описание
We just poured the concrete walls for our new house foundation.
Let me show you exactly how we did it.
Using 5/8’s vertical and ½” horizontal rebar, the guys made a grid exactly where the foundation walls go.
Next, they set their aluminum form panels in place.
These are held together with pins and wedges.
The wedge goes through the pin and is tapped in place with a hammer- drawing the forms tight.
The inner and outer forms are held together with wall ties like these.
The guys used four-inch-thick pieces of foam to make the wall narrow from 10” to 6” to create a 4” ledge for the masons to lay their brick off of.
It’s important that the brick ledge follows the lay of the land so that you don’t see exposed foundation after final grading is done.
Once the forms are set and plumb- it’s time to pour concrete.
The concrete is poured directly into the hopper of the pump truck which has a giant boom to pump the concrete to exactly where it’s needed.
The guys sprayed form release on the inside of the forms so the concrete won’t stick.
The pump truck is operated by remote control, so the operator can stand right next to the wall and see what’s going on.
The guys work the concrete with long sticks and beat the forms with rubber mallets to ensure there are no voids.
After everything is troweled off and the anchor bolts are set, all that’s left to do is clean up.

I like seeing how things are done in the US. Other than us always vibrating concrete to get the air out (especially when pumping) we follow the same methodology. Good work. Like your content, especially the new guy.

This is such good content to showcase in Building Construction classes that usually teach text off of textbooks rather than on-field examples for majors such as Architecture, keep up the great work.

As a Ready-mix Driver, Thanks for having a Washout on the site. Makes cleaning up so much faster and easier

It really is interesting how insanely different home building is and different regions of the US. It seems especially concrete in framing. I've literally never seen any of the tools forms you guys are using for concrete forms and I used to work concrete foundations

Thank you for sharing this! Going from an extremely vague understanding to a grasp of what is actually happening in a matter of seconds is hard to do. You did a great job helping me understand! Pet the New Guy for me!

How is this better education than a whole day "concrete forms crash course" I got when i started work?

Wow! Everything done top shelf here- even clean out was legit. Those forms are slick. I'm used to seeing BBOES or HDO plywood panels.

This is a dumb observation but I've watched long enough to remember all the winning "pro's" commented long ago about not using the spool reel your showing at the beginning complaining how the video you had posted was wrong. I say missing the whole point of the video and now here's the spool, if only they could see and I be curious what they complain about next. Your doing great work and the manner in which you help and teach others is great keep it up.

Love your videos, they are always so interesting! I find it very interesting to see all of the processes that go into building what y'all build.

Argentinian here. When we have to pour concrete in similar situations we use flexible mechanical vibrators (I don't know the exact word in English) to purge all the air instead of the long sticks used in 0:49. Greetings from Patagonia Argentina.

I always thought those pump trucks were so cool

Here in Brazil we build 12-story buildings using this aluminum formwork technique.
