Finishing - is the act of preparing the exposed surface of a concrete slab for its intended use.
Read MoreFine aggregate
Fine aggregate - is used in multiple construction applications, including concrete construction.
Read MoreFatigue
Fatigue - is the reduction in structural capacity of an element due to loading and unloading cycles.
Read MoreFat
Fat - is a term used to describe the excess concrete paste found on top of a concrete slab after it has been placed and compacted.
Read MoreFalse Set
False Set - A false set is a stiffening of fresh concrete after mixing or placement. The original plasticity of the concrete can be restored by mixing.
Read MoreFall
Fall - A fall is an engineered slope in a concrete floor which allows drainage of fluids from the area.
Read MoreFabric Reinforcement
Fabric Reinforcement - is typically used in ground supported concrete floors, composed of a set grid of reinforcement bars prefabricated into a sheet.
Read MoreFabric Mesh Reinforcement
Fabric Mesh Reinforcement - Steel Fabric Reinforcement is made up of steel bars placed at regular centres in perpendicular directions to create a mesh of steel bars. These steel bars are typically 6 to 12mm in diameter and placed at between 100 and 400mm centres.
