Is my concrete step hard enough to walk on yet

Question

i poured a 12 inch by 12 inch by 9 foot concrete step 3 days ago it has been about 90 degrees seince then do you think its safe to walk on yet?

Answer 1

At 90, It would have been safe within 10 to 12 hours.

Doyourself a favour ( it may be too late) keep the concrete wet.

After setting, if the concrete is kept damp it will dry harder. and it won't have the top peeling off. If concrete cures too quickly it weathers poorly. (Chips cracks and falls apart.)

I'd throw some sand ontop and keep it damp for several days. But as I say it may be too late to help.  

Answer 2

sure.  Dave has good advice ...

Answer 3

yes it is

Answer 4

As long as it's been kept moist it should be fine by now.

Answer 5

Without a doubt. It was ready to walk on 2 days ago in my opinion. The worst thing about 90 degree weather is the concrete curing too fast. During the hot summer it is not unusual for it to cure to the point that you can walk on it in hours not days.

Answer 6

I agree with all of the above answers.  One additional thought: while the concrete could be walked on, you might still want to avoid tuning / rotating you foot w/ gravel or sand on your shoe as it could still scratch decorative concrete.

Answer 7

yes

Answer 8

yes in future always try and sprinkle water water for first few days to help cure concrete
