It fell off...how do I fix it?

(1/2) > >>

Hi Everyone,

The corner of my porch kinda...well, fell off


I think (thus the reason I am here) I can create a wood structure and fill it and call it good, but its location (and my newest to cement) makes me stop and bring my question here.

Anyone have suggestions on how to fix this?

Debts_of_Despair:
Secure plywood forms to remaining concrete with Tapcons.  Pour new concrete.  Wait a couple days and remove forms.  Patch Tapcon holes.

skeeder:
would C-clamps work to secure it?

Debts_of_Despair:
I'm not sure what you the other side of the c clamp would attach to? With that method it would also be difficult to make sure the form is at the exact plane as the existing concrete.  The finished product is going to look like crap if it's not

Drill in to the remaining concrete and stick in some rebar. Or your patch may fall off. I speak from experience.
I don't see how you could use C clamps, unless they're big enough to span the whole thickness of the porch.
Take the aluminum off the post - it will get in the way.
