Lets start with the basics:
![Page 4: Causes of Surface Defects on Horizontal Concrete Slabs; Preventative Surface Treatments and Remediation - AIA](https://reader038.vdocuments.site/reader038/viewer/2022102716/54577a79af79593e108b4701/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
DefinitionsCement = Powder
Cement + Water = PastePaste + Sand = Mortar
Mortar + Stone = Concrete
A chemical reaction takes places when the water is mixed with the cement

Durable Concrete
• ACI 201.2R-08, “Guide to Durable Concrete”
– Outlines procedures to design and place durable concrete.
![Page 12: Causes of Surface Defects on Horizontal Concrete Slabs; Preventative Surface Treatments and Remediation - AIA](https://reader038.vdocuments.site/reader038/viewer/2022102716/54577a79af79593e108b4701/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Some Common Concrete Flatwork Surface Issues
• Surface Scaling• Popouts• Dusting• Delamination
![Page 13: Causes of Surface Defects on Horizontal Concrete Slabs; Preventative Surface Treatments and Remediation - AIA](https://reader038.vdocuments.site/reader038/viewer/2022102716/54577a79af79593e108b4701/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Surface scaling
• ACI 201.1R, “Guide for Conducting a Visual Inspection of Concrete in Service” defines scaling as:– local flaking or peeling away of the near-surface
portion of hardened concrete or mortar. Which can vary from light to very severe with loss of coarse particles greater than 20 mm (7/8”).
![Page 14: Causes of Surface Defects on Horizontal Concrete Slabs; Preventative Surface Treatments and Remediation - AIA](https://reader038.vdocuments.site/reader038/viewer/2022102716/54577a79af79593e108b4701/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
![Page 15: Causes of Surface Defects on Horizontal Concrete Slabs; Preventative Surface Treatments and Remediation - AIA](https://reader038.vdocuments.site/reader038/viewer/2022102716/54577a79af79593e108b4701/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
![Page 16: Causes of Surface Defects on Horizontal Concrete Slabs; Preventative Surface Treatments and Remediation - AIA](https://reader038.vdocuments.site/reader038/viewer/2022102716/54577a79af79593e108b4701/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
![Page 17: Causes of Surface Defects on Horizontal Concrete Slabs; Preventative Surface Treatments and Remediation - AIA](https://reader038.vdocuments.site/reader038/viewer/2022102716/54577a79af79593e108b4701/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Surface Scaling – Typical Causes• Inadequate or no air entrainment. (Concrete with
proper entrained air will still scale for the following reasons)
• Improper Curing• Deicing salts on newly placed concrete or excessive
deicing salts on concrete with poor surface strengths.
• Concrete finished while bleeding or over worked.• High degree of freezable water content (late
season pours)

![Page 18: Causes of Surface Defects on Horizontal Concrete Slabs; Preventative Surface Treatments and Remediation - AIA](https://reader038.vdocuments.site/reader038/viewer/2022102716/54577a79af79593e108b4701/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Surface Scaling – Application Hints During Concrete Placement
• Ensure proper air-entrainment for environment.
• Do not use de-icing salts on new concrete, or excess de-icing salts on old concrete.
• Do not perform any finishing operations with water present on surface.
• Cure the concrete.• Seal the concrete.

Popouts
• ACI 201.1R, “Guide for Conducting a Visual Inspection of Concrete in Service” defines popouts as:– The breaking away of a small portions of a
concrete surface due to localized internal pressure that leaves a shallow, typical conical, depression with a broken coarse aggregate at the bottom.
![Page 20: Causes of Surface Defects on Horizontal Concrete Slabs; Preventative Surface Treatments and Remediation - AIA](https://reader038.vdocuments.site/reader038/viewer/2022102716/54577a79af79593e108b4701/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)

Surface Popouts – Typical Causes
• Use of non durable aggregates.• Improper curing.• High degree of freezable water content.• Popouts may occur without freezing and thawing
– Again, caused by internal pressures, but not by freezing and thawing / deicing salts, but by some deleterious reaction between the aggregate and cement alkali.

Dusting
• ACI 201.1R, “Guide for Conducting a Visual Inspection of Concrete in Service” defines dusting as:
– The development of a powdered material at the surface of hardened concrete.
![Page 28: Causes of Surface Defects on Horizontal Concrete Slabs; Preventative Surface Treatments and Remediation - AIA](https://reader038.vdocuments.site/reader038/viewer/2022102716/54577a79af79593e108b4701/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)

Dusting – Typically Causes
• Any finishing operation performed too early.• Use of additional water on the surface.• Inadequate ventilation.• Insufficient curing.• Inadequate protection from freezing.
![Page 30: Causes of Surface Defects on Horizontal Concrete Slabs; Preventative Surface Treatments and Remediation - AIA](https://reader038.vdocuments.site/reader038/viewer/2022102716/54577a79af79593e108b4701/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Dusting – Application Hints During Concrete Placement
• Allow concrete time to adequately bleed.• Do not use additional water to finish surface.• Ensure proper ventilation of heaters.• Properly cure the concrete.• Do not apply when temperature is expected
below freezing.

Delamination
• ACI 201.1R, “Guide for Conducting a Visual Inspection of Concrete in Service” defines delamination as:– A separation along a plane parallel to a surface, as
in the case of a concrete slab, a horizontal splitting, or separation with in the slab in a plane roughly parallel to, and generally near, the upper surface. [from the base slab by a thin layer of water or air].
![Page 32: Causes of Surface Defects on Horizontal Concrete Slabs; Preventative Surface Treatments and Remediation - AIA](https://reader038.vdocuments.site/reader038/viewer/2022102716/54577a79af79593e108b4701/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)

![Page 35: Causes of Surface Defects on Horizontal Concrete Slabs; Preventative Surface Treatments and Remediation - AIA](https://reader038.vdocuments.site/reader038/viewer/2022102716/54577a79af79593e108b4701/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
Delamination – Typical Causes
– Finishing the concrete too early prior bleeding or when the concrete is still bleeding.
– Over working and/or densifying the surface during the finishing operation.
– Cool sub-grade or concrete, retards or delays bleeding.
– Air content is too high for application.– Rapid drying of surface which causes the concrete
to appear ready for finishing.
![Page 36: Causes of Surface Defects on Horizontal Concrete Slabs; Preventative Surface Treatments and Remediation - AIA](https://reader038.vdocuments.site/reader038/viewer/2022102716/54577a79af79593e108b4701/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
Delamination – Application Hints During Concrete Placement
• Allow the concrete sufficient time to bleed.• Be wary of concrete that appears ready for
final finishing before expected.• Use accelerators in cold weather.• Do not use air-entrained concrete on hard
troweled floors.• Protect from rapid drying.
![Page 37: Causes of Surface Defects on Horizontal Concrete Slabs; Preventative Surface Treatments and Remediation - AIA](https://reader038.vdocuments.site/reader038/viewer/2022102716/54577a79af79593e108b4701/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)

Curing Per ACI 201.2R-6• Will ensure strength development of paste at
surface.• Will also decrease the porosity of concrete,
thereby lowering content of freezable water.• Help maintain a concrete RH below 85 percent
• Adequate curing will ensure that proper minimum strength development of concrete is achieved.– 500 PSI single freeze episode– 3,600 PSI multiply freeze episodes

Summarize
• Read and follow ACI 201.2R-08, “Guide to Durable Concrete”
• Do not finish concrete too early, this may cause– Scaling, dusting, delamination, popouts
• Properly curing concrete may eliminate– Scaling, dusting & popouts
• Sealing the concrete may eliminate– Scaling, dusting & popouts
