Abstract:
Outlines the benefits of making the concrete flatwork finisher a full member of the concrete floor construction team from the beginning of the project. Recommends that the finisher be particularly involved in developing specifications for the mix proportions, joint layout, and subgrade preparation. Recommends against specifying a performance mix for floor slabs.
