We
poured a wall without vibrating and the concrete was probably allowed
to flow too much. The result is a lot of honeycombing and segregation
(In some places we can see the original colors of the small rocks used.
It's like they never touched cement paste)
The
wall is 7inch thick with a good deal of rebar in it. It is a wall
inside the house, so no water intrusion worries there. The wall must
carry a first floor deck, appr 3 tonnes per meter wall.
I
have chipped off some of the honeycombing, as seen in the pics. It
comes off quite easily with a hammer. Some places I can chip it off
almost through the entire wall. Other places It's more superficial.
Is there a risk that the wall is unusable and should be demolished? Any thoughts/advice would be greatly greatly appreciated!
