Why do you vibrate concrete Wet concrete contains around 20% air in the mix When the concrete dries that air can create multiple defects such as honeycomb and cold shuts Concrete vibrators move the concrete solution into any cracks and force all of the bubbles up to the surface leaving a consolidated and compacted mixture where you need it
