Why Polishing Suspended Concrete Slabs is More Likely to Disappoint Customers
American Society of Concrete Contractors (ASCC)
Polished-concrete specifications are based on experience with slabs-on-grade, so contractors must help project owners understand how results will likely vary when polishing suspended slabs
When slabs on ground are polished, non-uniform exposure of aggregate is a result of high spots cause by slab curling. Deflection of many suspended slabs exceeds the upward movement at curled slabs, so polishing may result in even larger areas that exhibit such non-uniform aggregate exposure.

How to Estimate In-place Strength of Concrete
KB Engineering LLC
Contractors need to know how to correctly evaluate the in-place strength of concrete so they can determine to proper time to remove formwork, backfill or open up a pavement to traffic.
Field-cured test cylinders should be cured in the same manner as the concrete they represent. The temperature-time history of the test cylinders should match the in-place concrete curing conditions. In this case, the field-cured test cylinders overestimated the in-place concrete strength because they were sitting adjacent to a jobsite heater..

Why Thermal Cracking Happens & How to Control It
Here are some of the conditions that can cause thermal cracking to occur in concrete, conditions you should be aware of, and what to plan for.
Thermal cracking is usually associated with mass concrete but it can also happen to thinner slabs because of temperature differences between concrete ground, and ambient temperatures.
