Methodology for Controlling the Technological Process of Executing Floors Made of Cement-Based Materials

Materials (Basel). 2020 Feb 20;13(4):948. doi: 10.3390/ma13040948.

Abstract

The article presents original complex methodology for the effective control of the entire process of executing floors made of cement-based materials. This methodology has been lacking in literature so far. The methodology was developed on the basis of many years of the authors' experience, which was acquired when diagnosing the technical condition of such floors. The methodology was preceded by a synthetic summary of the most important technological and technical requirements for floors made of cement-based materials. It was also enriched with a discussion of the problem documented by sample research results showing the state that may be the result of disregarding and not performing the necessary control activities.

Keywords: casting; cement-based materials; floors; forming; methodology; non-destructive and semi-destructive tests.
