Abstract
The pouring of latex modified concrete can be done in warm or even hot weather conditions. The latex modifier is treated and kept in a hot condition to let the modified concrete go into final setting, and also kept hot to allow the concrete to cure. Hot water is added to the concrete, while keeping it hydrated. The poured latex modified concrete can be broom finished to provide suitable surface finish. A false atmosphere can be created at the point of placement of the latex modified concrete, as well as at the point of production. This false atmosphere will interact with a controlled temperature modified product to cure.
Claims20
A method of application of a latex modified concrete, the method comprising:
- creating a false pouring atmosphere at a location for the application of the latex modified concrete, the false pouring atmosphere comprising raising the temperature of a subsurface at the location and keeping the location moist;
- producing a latex modified concrete mixture at a point of production;
- transporting the latex modified concrete mixture to the point of placement;
- pouring the latex modified concrete mixture at the point of placement having the false pouring atmosphere;
- and
- maintaining the false pouring atmosphere to allow the latex modified concrete mixture to cure.
A method of application of latex modified concrete, the method comprising:
- creating a false production atmosphere by maintaining a temperature-controlled environment and within the temperature-controlled environment is disposed any one of the group consisting of:
- a latex, a water, and a modifier, a rock, or a sand;
- mixing any of the latex, the water, the modifier, the rock, or the sand, with a latex modified concrete;
- transporting the latex modified concrete through an environment that is outside a range of 70 and 90 degrees Fahrenheit to a point of placement while maintaining temperature of the latex modified concrete between 70 and 90 degrees Fahrenheit;
- soaking a point of placement in water to either raise or lower a temperature of the point of placement to between 70 and 90 degrees Fahrenheit;
- and
- pouring the latex modified concrete onto the point of placement.
A method of transporting latex modified concrete, the method comprising:
- raising a temperature of an area intentionally refrigerated within a past 24-hours via pouring hot water onto the area;
- allowing said area to raise to a range between 70 to 90 degrees;
- removing said hot water via a pump;
- transporting the latex modified concrete via a means of transport to the area;
- and
- pouring the latex modified concrete onto the area.
