I'm not a concrete guy, done it a few times, but that's it. What would be the purpose for that thick of a pour?

I have no idea but oine thing is for sure that is more like soup than any concrete I've seen

That thick and no rebar cage. Strange indeed. And why are there pictures on the walls? And why is there an old man in their concrete? So many questions.

Biggest pair of concrete boots I've ever heard of. Sure as hell don't want him floating to the surface.

Makes little sense to me (not a concreter). The fluid pressure on his legs must be impressive.
Once he flattens that out he has to walk out, likely ruining everything he has flattened.
This is so crazy, I'm questioning if it is real.

This is definitely not a structural pour. It appears to me that someone is trying to cover up or hide something.
One country and one city comes to mind.

The term “slump” comes to mind.
The higher the water content of the mix the more it will drop as it dries.
This is not done to any code or standard I’ve ever seen.

A pour that thick without any rebar will definitely crack. Concrete curing is exothermic. Heats up quite a bit. A pour that deep will heat up a lot. And that will cause cracking. As for the soup they are calling concrete. Wow. Slump is a test done with a cone. About 8 inches at the base and 12 inches tall 4 inches at the pointy end. The concrete is poured in and the cone flipped and the drop in height is noted and compared against the desired consistency. So less slump thicker concrete. This stuff would be lucky to get an inch of height after it collapsed. A strong concrete like that would be near impossible to move through. You would vibrate it, let it partially set and then trowel it. All done with a lot of experience and proper timing.

I have seen other videos similar to this, my guess is some kind of floor leveler not concrete per say. Still many questions.
