4.7. CONCRETE DECK FORMING AND POURING
The deck consists of poured
reinforced concrete over corrugated
sheet steel laid length-wise on the
weighbridge. A channel coping
surrounds the deck.
1. Pour the concrete flush with the top of the
channel coping.
2. Pour concrete. The concrete should have
a minimum compressive strength of
4,000 psi.
─ Take several test cylinder samples
during this process.
3. Place the concrete into position by direct
chute method.
─ Ensure thorough consolidation by
using a spud type vibrator as required.
─ All concrete work MUST conform to
standards set forth by the American
Concrete Institute Code.
4. Before the concrete has fully set, "broom"
finish it with textured grooves
perpendicular to the long axis of the scale.
