In typical precast construction practice of floor slabs using precast concrete hollow core unit (HCU), in-situ concrete is cast on top of the HCU to obtain smooth and even floor finish. The surface of the HCU is seldom given proper treatment prior to casting the concrete topping. The texture and sur...
