The ASCC has published "Guide for Surface Finish of Slabs on Ground," a publication written by Ross Martin and edited by ASCC's Education and Training Committee.
The spiral-bound 21-page Guide was designed to help contractors inform owners, specifiers, architects and engineers of the surface finishes of slabs on ground, or grade, that they can provide. The publication covers variations in concrete color and texture and discusses imperfections such as trowel marks, pinholes, delamination and cracks. The full-color book includes numerous photographs of imperfections.
