I guess this question is not going to be answered. Building standards state that concrete reaches 98% of it's strength after 29 days. In the UK this is extended to 42 days minimum. The standards also clearly state that NO Work can be done on the concrete until it reaches its maximum strength. "took a while..." Or "after a week" clearly indicates a lack of knowledge of these standards.

curing should be a minimum of 21 days for concrete or a little less for beams and lintels

Thank you! Someone here said 7 days. I asked cos I wanted to know how long the OP waited for the concrete to cure. The books I read said 28 days though. But I will be fine with at least 21 days for either decking or lintels and beams

7 what?? hmm,some engrs can be way too wackoo,no wonder they go around building cracks around ,concrete expands during curing and without a firm grip on the reinforcement the desired strength will not be attained..

thanks for that compliment but like every other profession,we aren't perfect but at least one have to study in school to become something better,most of these cut and nail engineers neither went to college nor even acquired any degree and you can see the damages a lot of the so call renouned bricklayers have caused in the name of proving to be experts

Go through the thread na. I've seen work commence on a decking 24 hours after it was cast! PS: I am a computing grad o. But I had to hunt books on building to get up to speed.

I had always wondered why buildings built in the 80s and before were always orthogonal but not today's buildings. JB and Cappa built straight structures but not locals. Spoke with a Civil engineer and he complained of material quality and I said the more reason we should wait longer for concrete to cure! These days they just use POP to get a straight look with faulty underlying structures.

The wood we use to build today sef is terrible! I always thought that engineered wood (plywood) was that standard for formwork

On what thread have you seen any Builder commencing block work after 24 hours of decking... Please point us to one of the specific thread.
