One of our project requiring 1″ topping slab. Do you have a special product might fit our purpose and please shar with me how to use the product Reply Sakrete February 20, 2024 Idris, you’ve got some options! The most cost-effective approach would be to pour a “cap” using polymer...
Usually intended for existing slabs: In most cases, decorative concrete floors are only practical if there’s an existing concrete slab-on-grade or basement floor to work with. However, it is possible is to install concrete right over an existing floor covering, such as sheet vinyl, tile or...
Positioning rods are used in lateral joints on major roadways to prevent vertical movement between slabs under traffic loads and to shift the load to the next slab. On the other hand, due to thermal expansion or contraction, the positioning rod allows the horizontal plate to move. ...
Applying a bonding agent to the concrete’s surface ensures that newly placed concrete will attach to the existing slab.Some factors impact how well the old and new concrete bond. There are mainly two things that affect how well the old and new concrete stick together:...
For bonded overlays, cut joints exactly to match the joints in the base slab. No additional joints are needed. For unbonded toppings, ACI 360R-06 recommends the following: "For a thin, unreinforced, unbonded topping slab, additional joints should be considered between the existing joints in the...
External restraint typically may be a surrounding structure, such as a previously existing concrete slab or a wall, that prevents a newly poured shrinkage compensating concrete from expanding. Pouring forms, such as plates, pipes, plywood, etc. used to simply confine the concrete are not external...
Pool deck resurfacing is a process where we use a micro topping over your existing concrete slab to repair all cracks and gouges, like hitting the reset button on your pool deck. This process is what saves you thousands of dollars and sometimes weeks of time compared to dealing with complete...
Precast floors are generally used with a cast-in-place concrete topping slab. The precast units are either of reinforced or of pretensioned prestressed concrete. Precast floors are widely used in many parts of the world. Concrete floors also connect parts of the vertical structural system to form...
