Quality Assurance

 

 

Failure Investigation

 

  • Lower than designed strength of concrete

  • Driveway scaling due to inadequate air entrainment

  • Surface scaling due to improper finishing

  • Popouts due to freezing of near-surface, water absorptive and alkali-silica reactive aggregates in concrete

  • Mortar lift-offs due to improper finishing

  • Warehouse floor delamination due to trowel finishing an air entrained concrete slab

  • Delamination due to premature and prolonged finishing

  • Surface discoloration due to differential water-cement ratios

  • Efflorescence on floor tiles due to moisture upwelling

  • Surface blemishes, blisters on floor tiles

  • Cracking due to alkali-aggregate reaction

  • Loss of mass and strength due to sulfate attack

  • Cracking and popouts due to delayed hydration of free lime and magnesia

  • Cement and concrete burns

  • Cracking due to differential shrinkage

  • Moisture expansion of construction materials

  • Early freezing of plastic concrete

  • Late freezing of hardened concrete

  • Cracking due to delayed ettringite formation

  • Cracking and curling of slab due to differential moisture conditions

  • Cracking and curling of slab due to differential thermal conditions

  • Bowing and dishing of stone and precast concrete panels due to differential moisture and/or thermal conditions

  • De-bonding of floor tiles

  • Cracking of stucco and other plaster finishes

  • Corrosion of concrete, mortar, and sewage pipes

  • Warehouse slab surface abrasion due to improper design and construction practice

  • Corrosion of steel in concrete due to chloride ingress and carbonation

  • Drying and plastic shrinkage cracking in concrete

  • Paint failure from drywalls and from concrete floors

  • Cracking and water infiltration in masonry structures

  • Efflorescence on masonry surfaces and brick pavers

  • Cracking, spalling, and lifting of non-shrink, anchoring and patching grouts
