What three methods are generally used to apply a geometric pattern to a concrete slab? 26. List the four basic cast-in-place concrete roof and fl oor structural systems. 27. Pan joist roof construction is a one-way structural system in which a ribbed slab is formed with ______. 28. ______ construction is the process of casting concrete walls in a horizontal position on-site or other locations and lifting them from the casting position or truck to their fi nal location in the building. 29. In a tilt-up concrete panel, the thickness is usually determined by a quantity called the ______ ratio. 30. ______ footings are generally for tilt-up buildings. 31. Identify the three most common designs of prestressed panels. Activities 1. (TECH) Investigate trends in decorative concrete. Examples include glow-in-the-dark concrete, acid-stained concrete, and metallic concrete. Prepare a visual presentation that illustrates applications for several types of decorative concrete. 2. (MATH) Determine the amount of concrete needed to place a driveway that is 5″ thick, 24′ wide, and 36′ long. Round up the answer to the closest 1/4 cu yd of concrete. One cu yd is 3′ × 3′ × 3′.
