Abstract:
After providing a summary of the causes and functional effects of curling/warping of concrete slabs on ground, the positive and negative aspects of potential mitigation methods are discussed. These methods include cutting additional joints, grinding of edges, patching low zones, filling voids below the slabs, partial-depth concrete removal and replacement, and installation of dowels.
