However most precast concrete planks will have a built in upwards camber.
Concrete floor topping thickness.
The structural drawings will state a minimum thickness for the concrete topping perhaps 40mm.
It is too thin to use as a flooring just by itself.
There aren t many reasons to have only a 1 inch thick concrete surface.
The concrete topping should be approximately 1 8 inch 3 mm above the bottom of the screed.
The concrete topping used should have a maximum slump of 75 mm.
Based on the thickness and the requirement of the topping slab steel reinforcement is provided.
When a topping slab is used over precast members aci 117 90 standard specifications for tolerances for concrete construction and materials allows up to a 3 4 inch offset of top surfaces of adjacent elements in an erected position.
The amount of camber will usually depend on the length of the plank.
For bonded and unbonded concrete topping slab strength of concrete for concrete topping slab is governed by function of the slab.
The minimum thickness of a monolithic topping at any part should be 20 mm.
Strike off the concrete topping with the vibratory screed.
Commonly placed topping slab is in the range of 50 100 mm.
However if you need to resurface damaged concrete a 1 inch layer is a good amount.
Usually steel fabric reinforcement mesh will be required in the concrete topping.
The topping mix that you mentioned is ok.
As defined above these are screeds and toppings that are applied at the time when the underlying concrete floor is placed.
If no water absorption is seen then the topping concrete can be laid as done in normal process.
Floor top stg is a standard traffic grade single component shrinkage compensated self leveling floor topping and underlayment that may be pumped or poured.
30mpa for light duty 40 mpa for medium duty and 50 mpa for heavy duty.
Floor top stg is specially designed to smooth out uneven rough or minor deteriorated interior concrete floors.
The old surface is prepared so that the new concrete will adhere then the new cement is added.
Given that the floor is interior the cracks between the existing concrete and the trenches for plumbing and electrical probably won t move.
