As far as I know, this is OK as long as the concrete slab fully seals it airtight.

Yes, in some cases this is even done intentionally, since the oxidation increases the surface area and thus should create a better bond with the steel. Once the concrete is poured, it is exactly as you said—the oxidation process stops, because, as the term implies, it requires oxygen, which no longer reaches the reinforcement through the concrete. I would be completely relaxed about this as well.

I get the impression that if I don’t keep asking when the next steps will happen, nothing would ever move forward...[ /QUOTE] I have the same impression. Additionally, sometimes I feel like I’m in kindergarten. Four weeks ago, the shell construction worker was missing a detail in the construction plan – it would’ve taken a phone call and two minutes to find out. Instead, he sent an email to the architectural office and waited four weeks without following up. Yesterday, we received a registered letter threatening to unilaterally terminate the construction contract if the information wasn’t provided within a week. It really makes you look forward to cooperation when solutions for the client are sought so “pragmatically”... In that respect, every cast concrete slab or basement I see here genuinely pains me, because our building pit has been waiting eagerly for a concrete slab since early December...

I found the implementation of the "formwork" for the individual column foundation using the rings quite interesting. It looks like they simply pour concrete into the rings, which saves them the effort of building complex formwork.

That's how it's done here as well. I was also quite surprised when I saw the concrete rings in the construction plan. It seems to be much more cost-effective than traditional formwork, and our architects often use this method. It's good to read that we're not unusual in this respect [emoji4]

I’m curious to see how it goes. In principle, I should be able to check by the end of March whether the column is stable. According to the plan, the shell of the building should at least be completed by then.

Ruppsn, that’s really bad. You could almost suspect it was intentional.

Reinforcing steel without rust must come directly from the factory and be sandblasted again on-site. A little surface discoloration is not a problem; it’s only superficial.

This morning we wanted to put the trampoline in the attic and discovered there are many small mushrooms living there.

The steel already has a nice sun tan

Reinforcement mesh is never galvanized or chrome-plated.
That’s standard practice, and any oxidation that occurs after installation doesn’t cause any issues.

Those aren’t cultivated mushrooms and need to be removed :-(
That means excising the material they’re growing on.

What I found more interesting was the implementation of the "circuit" for the individual foundation of the column using the rings.

What is supposed to go there: the corner support of a recessed patio?
