NOTE: Keep in mind deductibles do not apply to liability auto insurance coverage, as that pays for damages incurred by another driver when you cause an accident. Rather, it would apply to coverage types that pay your damages, such as collision or comprehensive coverage.
Re: Poured side walk/steps, how long to leave forms? I strip the forms 24 hours later, but am careful not to damage the new concrete. It will still be very soft and with crumble if you put too much force on the edges. Usually concrete will harden withing 30 days to the point where it is considered cured.
I agree with Jason S. It gets about two thirds of its strength in 7 days Concrete is considered cured from a technical standpoint at 28 days.Most designs are based on the 28 days strength of the concrete mix.Most design mixes exceed the 28 day design stress before 28 days but that can vary depending on many variables.est Answer: It really depends on how wet the ground is and the ground temperature. As a rule you should wait at least a week before starting a construction project on new concrete, 30 days is even better.
