Description / Abstract:
This guide describes several techniques for imparting aesthetic
finishes to concrete, many of which can be combined for unique
effects (Fig. 1.2). The guide provides detailed practical guidance
for achieving aesthetic effects using proven techniques, both
within and beyond the context of ACI 302.1R, which also governs
these concrete elements.
Recommendations for the production of cast-in-place decorative
concrete, stains, and overlays are presented. In addition to
attention to specified materials, mixture designs, concrete
placement, curing, protection, sealing, and other treatments,
consideration of the effects of these treatments on the overall
aesthetics of the structure is also addressed.
