Question
Chapter 14, Problem 2RQ
To determine
Give the reason that the surface of the slab on grade finishes in one operation rather than waiting for hours before the final finish.
Expert Solution & Answer
Explanation of Solution
Finishing process:
- A concrete slab on a grade is the concrete level surface that lies directly on the ground.
- A slab on grade floor generally experiences slight structural stress excluding a direct compression transmission between its live loads and ground beneath.
- Hence, slab furnishes a simple example of the operations involved in the concrete site casting.
