Working
with concrete is as much an art as it is a science. So many variables
go into
the proper mix design, production, placement and curing techniques as
well as
environmental conditions, that problems inevitably occur. Fortunately,
many of
these problems are preventable and possibly repairable.
Click on the common
concreting problems listed below to see techniques for
preventing and repairing
them:
Dustingis

loose powder from disintegrating hardened concrete
surfaces...
Scaling is local flaking or peeling of the
finished surface of hardened concrete...
