// ANATOMY
Explore each part of concrete
PART 01
Surface Layer
The surface layer of a concrete structure is the exposed top layer that is visible and interacts with external elements.
- Cracking due to weather or heavy loads
- Staining from spills or environmental exposure
- Surface spalling or flaking from freeze-thaw cycles
PART 02
Reinforcement
Reinforcement is used to strengthen concrete structures, typically using steel bars or mesh to prevent cracking and increase durability.
- Corrosion of reinforcing steel
- Insufficient reinforcement leading to structural weakness
- Improper placement causing uneven stress distribution
PART 03
Subgrade
The subgrade is the foundation layer beneath concrete, providing stability and support.
- Poor compaction causing settlement
- Moisture accumulation leading to soft spots
- Erosion undermining the concrete structure
PART 04
Control Joints
Control joints are planned cracks in concrete slabs that help control where and how the concrete will crack as it shrinks and expands.
- Improper spacing leading to random cracking
- Filling with debris causing structural issues
- Poor finishing creating uneven or jagged joints
PART 05
Expansion Joints
Expansion joints are designed gaps that allow concrete structures to expand and contract due to temperature changes.
- Joint filler decay reducing effectiveness
- Moisture infiltration causing subgrade erosion
- Joint misalignment leading to cracks
PART 06
Formwork
Formwork is the temporary mold into which concrete is poured and shaped until it hardens.
- Leakage causing loss of cement paste
- Deformation affecting the final shape
- Uneven support leading to structural weaknesses
PART 07
Concrete Mix
The concrete mix is the combination of cement, water, aggregates, and sometimes admixtures that determine the concrete's characteristics.
- Incorrect mixing ratios reducing strength
- Poor quality materials affecting durability
- Excess water causing excessive shrinkage
PART 08
Finishing Layer
The finishing layer is the final touch given to the surface to enhance aesthetics and ensure proper texture and durability.
- Improper troweling leading to uneven surfaces
- Insufficient curing causing weak surfaces
- Delayed finishing causing surface defects
