1. Definition and Uses of Exposed Aggregate Concrete

Exposed Aggregate Concrete, also known as aggregate concrete, is a specialized concrete that completely exposes the aggregates on the surface. The surface aggregates are fully or partially exposed, creating a textured and colorful outer layer. It is widely used in various construction, road and bridge, square, gas station, and airport projects, offering enhanced aesthetics, durability, and anti-slip properties.

Section 2: Construction Techniques for Exposed Aggregate Concrete

Material Preparation

First, the site must be organized, clearing away debris and stones to ensure a clean construction area. Next, prepare materials including cement, sand, aggregates, and various processing equipment.

2. Template Assembly

Template construction is crucial; it must be made according to design specifications, properly aligned, leveled, and secured to ensure construction accuracy.

Pouring

During the concrete pouring process, it's essential to control the water-cement ratio and manage the pouring speed to ensure the uniformity and compactness of the concrete.

4. Maintenance

Based on weather conditions and the concrete's strength, implement scientifically reasonable curing measures.
