Question:

Concrete porch poured and they didn't use the correct ratio,cement and sand.?

I tried to set anchor but its to sandy and i drove it straight through. I'm assuming I need to replace? Is there anything else I can do to cure the concrete to make it hard?

Answer:

erm let it dry! otherwise youve got an expensive conctete block problem thats gotta get dug up
I mix my cement rich 1 cement to 2 1/2 sand and 1 pea gravel. The cement bags recommend 1 cement to 3 sand and 2 gravel. But under developed countries use 1 cement to 6 sand and 2 gravel. -- it is weaker but it cures hard in about 3 or 6 weeks depending on the humidity in the area and how thick the cement was poured.. So don't do anything drastic until you give your concrete porch more time to cure and get harder.
