New concrete slab system expands floor further with joints that are fewer and farther between

GCP Applied Technologies

New concrete slab system expands floor further with joints that are fewer and farther between. Wed, 12/19/2018 - 16:07. December 19, 2018. At that point, you're going to have 30-40 percent of the floor slab no longer in contact with the subbase," said Greg Scurto, founder of DUCTILCRETE® engineered systems.
