PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method for effectively correcting the sinking of a pillow slab on which the end portions of adjacent concrete slabs are placed in a short time. SOLUTION: The pillow plate is filled with an expandable resin and expanded. [Selection diagram] Fig. 2松藤 展...
1. How does water penetration through cracks in the surface contribute to the erosion of the base material and subsequent sinking of concrete? Water penetrating through cracks in the surface can slowly erode into the base material, weakening its integrity and causing the concrete to sink and crack...

To install the barriers, they must make perfectly flat ditches in the seafloor. Then, those trenches are lined with concrete. Once the gates are constructed, they'll be sunk to the sea bottom, where they'll lie completely within the trench until they are activated during high water. T...
unlike other finishes where machines are used. After the pebble bottom application is completed on the pool, a water and muriatic acid concoction is used to powder wash the finish. The powder wash does the magic by removing all the unwanted concrete from the top layer to expose the beautiful...
