There are many small skills in building construction, which seem inconspicuous, but can make the construction effect better. This article will share some architectural knowledge to help you better understand some details in the construction.

The wall "drinks water"

Before applying anti-crack mortar, the masters will "drink" some water for the grassroots wall. This is to ensure that the moisture in the mortar is not absorbed by the lower layer, so that the bond is stronger.

Sprinkler curing

After concrete pouring, sprinkler maintenance is the key step. Sprinkling water is not only for the hydration reaction of cement, but also to prevent cracking and ensure strength. At the same time, it is necessary to cover geotextile.

The secret of water-retaining agent

When scraping the anti-crack mortar, you may notice that the mortar itself is not very thick. In fact, water-retaining agents are usually added to the ratio. This is to prevent the cement slurry from losing water so quickly after construction, give the cement enough hydration time and ensure the operation time at the same time.
