Abstract: Even if concrete is able to provide a highly durable, functional and attractive surface, the concrete quality of slabs-on-ground is often affected by conditions over which the designer and contractor have little control. Some curling and cracking can be expected on every project due to the inherent characteristics of the Portland cement concrete, such as shrinkage. Nevertheless, poor design, inadequate mixture proportions and improper service conditions are key elements responsible for imperfections. By taking these causes into consideration, it is possible to reduce the inadequate results. The paper presents the main causes of imperfections established by an investigation performed at the request of the contractor of a concrete pavement made at the platform of an industrial company, located in the Transylvania Region, Romania.
