Concrete pour weather assessment
Check temperature, humidity, wind speed, and forecast conditions before scheduling a pour. Extreme heat, cold, rain, and wind all affect concrete placement, finishing time, and curing. Plan pours around optimal weather windows.
I'm pouring a 5,000 sq ft warehouse floor in San Antonio, TX on Tuesday. What are the temperature and wind conditions? Any risk of rain or temperatures above 95°F?
Tuesday: High 98°F, humidity 45%, wind 15 mph SW. Hot weather concreting conditions — plan early AM pour, use chilled water or ice in mix, pre-wet forms, have curing compound ready immediately after finishing. No rain risk through Wednesday.

Concrete specification and code research
Look up ACI standards for hot and cold weather concreting, flatwork tolerances, curing requirements, and mix design specifications. Reference ASTM C94 for ready-mix requirements and ACI 302 for floor construction.
What does ACI 306R say about cold weather concreting? When is concrete at risk of freezing and what are the minimum temperature requirements during placement and curing?
ACI 306R: Concrete must be protected when ambient temp falls below 40°F. Freshly placed concrete must be maintained at 50-70°F for at least 3-7 days depending on mix. Never allow fresh concrete to freeze before achieving 500 psi. Use heated enclosures, insulating blankets, or heated mix water.

Flatwork tolerance and finishing spec research
Look up floor flatness (FF), floor levelness (FL), and surface tolerance requirements for different occupancy types. Research trowel finish specifications, saw-cut joint timing, and control joint spacing requirements.
What are the minimum FF and FL numbers for a high-rack warehouse floor used by narrow-aisle forklifts? What does ACI 117 say about tolerance measurement?
High-rack narrow-aisle warehouses typically specify FF 50-100+ and FL 40-80+. ACI 117 requires measurement within 72 hours of slab placement using an F-meter. Random traffic areas: min FF 25, FL 20 per ACI 302.1R. Defined traffic: significantly higher FF required.

Frequently Asked Questions
What temperature is too hot or too cold to pour concrete?
ACI guidelines recommend avoiding placement when concrete temperature exceeds 95°F (hot weather) or when ambient temp is below 40°F (cold weather) without special precautions. Weather Forecast provides the detailed conditions you need to plan pours within safe temperature ranges.
What is the difference between FF and FL floor tolerance numbers?
Floor Flatness (FF) measures local waviness of the surface over short distances. Floor Levelness (FL) measures how close the floor is to a true level plane over larger areas. Higher numbers are tighter tolerances. Narrow-aisle warehouses with VNA forklifts often specify FF 100+ and FL 80+.
When should saw-cut control joints be made?
Control joints should be cut as early as possible after concrete is hard enough not to ravel — typically 4-12 hours after placement depending on mix, temperature, and slab thickness. Delaying increases the risk of random cracking. Deep Research can pull ACI 302 guidance on joint timing and depth.
What certifications are valuable for concrete finishers?
ACI Concrete Flatwork Finisher certification is the industry standard. The American Society of Concrete Contractors (ASCC) also offers specialty certifications for decorative concrete and polished concrete. Deep Research can summarize requirements and testing locations.
