Description
Excerpt from Concrete Troughs, Tanks, Hog Wallows, Manure Pits and Cisterns
After having selected~ clean, well graded materials and mixed them in correct proportions, enough water must be added to make a concrete of quaky or jelly-like consistency. When placed in the forms, this quaky mixture must be thoroughly spaded, both between and against form faces, to produce a dense, watertight mass with smooth surfaces. Tapping the forms while placing the concrete will help to produce a smooth surface and will also release air bubbles which may have been trapped in the concrete while mixing.
