Description
Pattern or map cracking (crazing) on the PCC slab surface caused by reactive aggregates. Reactive aggregates are those that either expand or develop expansive by products when introduced to certain chemical compounds.
Problem
Roughness, an indication of poor aggregate – will eventually lead to PCC slab disintegration.
Possible Causes
This type of distress is indicative of poor aggregate qualities. Most commonly, it is a result of an alkali-aggregate reaction.
Repair
Partial depth patch for small areas of scaling or slab replacement for large areas of scaling.
