12、rade and elevation. Properties of the surface are determined by the mixture proportions and the quality of the concreting and jointing operations. The timing of concreting operationsespecially finishing, jointing, and curingis critical. Failure to address this issue can contribute to undesirable cha
13、r-acteristics in the wearing surface such as cracking, low resistance to wear, dusting, scaling, high or low spots, poor drainage, and increasing the potential for curling.Concrete floor slabs employing portland cement, regardless of slump, will start to experience a reduction in volume as soon as t
14、hey are placed. This phenomenon will continue as long as any water, heat, or both, is being released to the surroundings. More-over, because the drying and cooling rates at the top and bottom of the slab are not the same, the shrinkage will vary throughout the depth, causing the as-cast shape to be
15、distorted and reduced in volume.This guide contains recommendations for controlling random cracking and edge curling caused by the concretes normal volume change. Application of present technology permits only a reduc-tion in cracking and curling, not elimination. Even with the best floor designs an
16、d proper construction, it is unrealistic to expect completely crack- and curl-free floors. Consequently, every owner should be advised by both the designer and contractor that it is completely normal to expect some amount of cracking and curling on every project, and that such an occurrence does not
17、 necessarily reflect adversely on either the adequacy of the floors design or the quality of its construction (Ytterberg 1987).This guide describes how to produce high-quality concrete slabs-on-ground and suspended floors for various classes of service. It emphasizes such aspects of construction as
18、site preparation, concrete materials, concrete mixture proportions, concrete work-manship, joint construction, load transfer across joints, form strip-ping procedures, finishing methods, and curing. Flatness/levelness requirements and measurements are outlined. A thorough precon-struction meeting is
19、 critical to facilitate communication among key participants and to clearly establish expectations and procedures that will be employed during construction to achieve the floor qual-ities required by the project specifications. Adequate supervision and inspection are required for job operations, par
20、ticularly those of finishing.Keywords: admixture; aggregate; consolidation; contract documents; curing; curling; deflection; durability; form; fracture; joint; mixture propor-tioning; placing; quality control; slab-on-ground; slabs; slump test.CONTENTSCHAPTER 1INTRODUCTION, p. 31.1Purpose, p. 31.2Sc

39、ER 1INTRODUCTION1.1PurposeThis guide presents information relative to the construction of slab-on-ground and suspended-slab floors for industrial, commercial, and institutional buildings. It is applicable to the construction of normalweight and structural lightweight concrete floors and slabs made w
40、ith conventional portland and blended cements. This guide identifies the various classes of floors based on use, construction design details, necessary site preparation, concrete type, and other related materials. In general, characteristics of the concrete slab surface and joint performance have a
41、powerful impact on the serviceability of floors and other slabs. Because the eventual success of a concrete floor installation depends on the mixture proportions and floor finishing techniques used, considerable attention is given to critical aspects of achieving the desired finishes and the require
42、d floor surface tolerances.1.2ScopeThis guide emphasizes choosing and proportioning of materials, design details, proper construction methods, and workmanship. Slabs specifically intended for the containment of liquids are beyond the scope of this guide. Whereas this guide does provide a reasonable
43、overview of concrete floor construction, each project is unique and circumstances can dictate departures from the recommendations given in this guide. Contractors and suppliers should, therefore, thoroughly review contract documents before bid preparation (Chapter 3).CHAPTER 2DEFINITIONSACI provides

49、eview of contract documents before the bid preparation is a prebid meeting. This meeting offers bidders an opportunity to ask questions and to clarify their understanding of contract documents before submitting their bids. A prebid meeting also provides the owner and the owners slab designer an opportunity to clarify intent where documents are unclear and to respond to last-minute questions in a manner that provides bidders an opportunity to be equally responsive to the
