Concrete is the only building material that is cast and placed on the jobsite.

These generally are surface defects including cracking, spalling, mortar flaking, aggregate popouts, blisters and other delaminaons. We will examine the pracces that
will minimize these defects. We will also discuss how we evaluate and maintain these areas as it relates to service life and aesthec
appeal.
