Basically concrete slab is concrete structure which is rectangular, resistant and flat. It is widely used in making roof, ceilings, bridge decks and floors; it has less deepness and sizes on basis of width and length. Concrete slabs are available in several of designs, and in most of the designs the upper side remains unchanged and lower part is changed.

Some of the slabs designs are discussed here. One among the many designs is ribbed slab, in this kind of slab the strength is powered in single direction. In waffle slab, the strength is powered from both directions. Some steps should be followed to know about pouring concrete slab perfectly. By properly placing the slab, great results can be achieved. Typically, there two types of slabs that are base slab and upper slab. Upper slab need more attention while preparing although the other slab also requires care.

People should ask or consult any professional before actually pouring the concrete slab by their own as pouring concrete slab without following steps can lead them to bad results, which may further require going thorough same process again which will be wastage of both energy and time. Thus, it is suggestible to hire any professional or to know about the steps of whole process to avoid any problem. To stay away from redundant difficulties, one should properly move ahead with the preparation and insertion of concrete slab.

One can follow some steps, which are given below for knowing about the process of pouring of concrete slab. The required materials for pouring concrete slab are wooden figures and compound made of sand, cement and gravel. Some tools are also required for pouring process, that are hand gloves, for avoiding any contact with chemicals and substances, and rubber boots, for securing your feet and legs from any harmful elements. Other tools for pouring the concrete slab is spade, trowel, pail, shovel and smooth 2/3/10 lumber.

One should first determine that whether he/she would make the upper slab or base slab. For creating the base slab, a mixture of sand, gravel and cement is required; one can make the mixture by taking one bag of cement, three bags of gravel and two bags of sand. Moreover, for making the upper slab, a compound mix with one bag of cement, one bag of sand and two bags of gravel is needed. Choose those wooden figures, which are capable of handling lot of pressure so that you can achieve the desired results. It is suggestible not to pour concrete slab without placing wooden figures, as it will not provide you with desired looks.

The stability and quality will be affected if the concrete slab is poured in any weak wooden figure. So, one should check for the toughness of wooden figures before actually placing the slab into it.

Thus, one can easily know about the process of pouring concrete slab and measures, which should be taken care of at the time of preparation and insertion of concrete slab from the above statements.
