ᐅ When do potential damages to the foundation slab typically become apparent?

Hello everyone,

If a freshly poured slab is exposed to low temperatures, frost damage is said to occur. Is there an approximate timeframe for when such damage would become visible — if it happens at all?

Currently, our slab is being poured, and outside the temperature is just a few degrees Celsius above freezing. At night, it sometimes drops to around -2°C or -3°C (28°F or 27°F).

According to the construction workers, this shouldn’t cause any problems, but I can’t quite shake my concerns.

Best regards

Where it bulges, there is slightly more concrete than necessary. So what? Karsten

No problem. Strangely enough, the link just stopped working for me as well. If an admin is reading this, I have a question: May I know why I was warned? How exactly did I benefit from this link myself ... I just wanted to help. That’s why I think the reaction is a bit over the top right now.

You probably violated the terms and conditions.
You agreed to them, and they clearly state: no linking, no advertising. This is not up for debate!

As I said, I was just a bit surprised, since this link could have actively helped someone.
