This section of the presentation describes finishing concrete flatwork
containing silica fume. Finishing is the one area where working with
silica-fume concrete differs most from conventional concrete. Because of
the increased tendency for this concrete for plastic shrinkage cracking
(discussed later), it is important to complete the finishing process as
quickly as possible. The "one-pass" finishing process was developed for use
with silica-fume concrete and is described.
