3. Shuttering forming soffit of beams,
girders or other heavily loaded
shuttering should be removed in
the end.

CONTRACTION JOINT
sawed, formed, or tooled groove in a
concrete slab that creates a weakened
vertical plane to regulate the location
of the cracking.
CONSOLIDATION OF CONCRETE:
process of eliminating voids
PLYWOOD FORMS
used when smooth surface is required.
Marine or Grade A form. Atleast 12
inches THK.
(Phenolic Boards-preferred)

STEEL FORMS
ISOLATION JOINT panels fabricated out of thin steel CONCRETE SPADING
Joints that isolate the slab from a wall, plates stiffened along the edges by repeated insertion and withdrawals of
column or drainpipe small steel angles a flat like spade tool
CONCRETE RODDING
repeated insertion and withdrawals of
a flat like spade tool
CONCRETE VIBRATION
high frequency oscillation of vibrator.
_______________________________
CONCRETE SEGREGATION
separation of coarse aggregates from
mortar or water due to over-vibration
or free fall.
CONCRETE STRATIFICATION
separation of excessively wet or over-
vibrated concrete mix into horizontal
layers; lighter material migrating
toward the top.
CONCRETE BLEEDING CRAZING
water gain on the surface of newly numerous hairline cracks as a result of
placed concrete caused by settlement rapid drying shrinkage.
of solid within the mass.
CONCRETE LAITANCE
milky deposit containing cement and
aggregate fines on the surface of the
concrete due to excessive water or
slab curling
HARDENED CONCRETE COMMON
DEFFECTS:
HONEYCOMB
voids due to segregation due to
insufficient construction.
SPALLING OR SCALLING
chipping caused by freeze-thaw cycles
