Finishing Concrete • A. Consolidating concrete in order to give the uniform plastic mass desired. • Tools used in consolidating concrete. • $Straight edge • $Tampers • $Roller screeds • $Jitterbugs • $Vibrator
Finishing Concrete • B. Striking-off • A leveling operation that takes the humps and valleys out of the surface of the concrete and gives it a true even surface.
Finishing Concrete • C. Floating • $It helps depress the coarser aggregate and brings mortar to the surface. • $Tools used for floating concrete. • - Darby • - Bull float • - Wood float
Finishing Concrete • D. Types of finishes • $Broom finish • - Used for feeding floors, ramps for livestock, driveways and walkways. • - The rough texture can be made with a stiff floor broom pulled, crossways to the direction of travel. • The degree of coarseness can be determined by the types of broom and the amount of pressure applied to it. • $Belt finish • - Used on driveways, pavements, and livestock ramps.- Six inch wide strips of burlap, canvas, or rubber belt can be moved back and forth just after the wood float process is finished.
