With Concrete Paving Equipment, the Word is StringlessA look at how the changing technologies of concrete pavement equipment have adapted to the industry. “The buzzword is stringless,” says Stephen Bullock, president of Power Curbers Companies. “It’s been batted around for 15 years, 10 years ago we started seeing some real interest. And then over the last 5 years, it’s moving toward becoming the norm.”

Eliminate Confusion:
How to Tell Joints Apart

How come there are so many different types of joints in a concrete slab?

First let’s establish what the purpose of a “joint” is in concrete construction. They:

  • Allow a concrete piece to move separately from other pieces or parts of the building.
  • Let concrete shrink as it dries relieving most of the internal tension.
  • Help control random cracking.
  • Are used as a stopping and starting point.
  • Create a weak point in a slab. This regulates where the cracks happen.
Here’s the tip

There are four main types of joints and many names for them. https://www.concretedecor.net/departments/grinding-polishing/types-of-joints-in-concrete-how-to-tell-the-difference/
