As a civil Engineer I have cast several large internal and external bays, however recently a concreting concreter has told me about the 'reinforcement rippling' effect.
See attached photos showing the rippling effect in the finished slab, we were casting 'Hit and Miss' as this was a 'miss' they were screening off two fixed points level should not of been an issue. The deflection of the finished slab would appear uniform with the mesh.
Can anyone please give me some advise as to why this has happened, whether this 'reinforcement rippling' effect is true, and if the concrete has been laid correctly. Concrete spec - C35 Air entrained.
