THE BUGHOLE PROBLEM

SURFACE VOIDS, GENERALLY CALLED BLOWHOLES OR BUGHOLES, ARE OF CONCERN TO MOST OWNERS AND ARCHITECTS WHO ARE CONCERNED WITH AESTHETICS. AN ATTEMPT TO BETTER CONTROL BUGHOLES BY ESTABLISHING CONTROLLING FACTORS AND THEN APPLYING THIS KNOWLEDGE IN THE FIELD IS PRESENTED. STUDIES AND METHODS OF RATING CONCRETE WITH RESPECT TO BUGHOLES ARE DIVIDED INTO TWO CATEGORIES--COUNTING AND MEASURING THE VOIDS AND OTHER METHODS SUCH AS BY VISUAL COMPARISONS. FURTHER INVESTIGATION TO ESTABLISH WHAT VOIDS REALLY ARE AND EXAMINATION OF THE USE OF THE VIBRATION PROCESS, MIX, EQUIPMENT, AND PROCEDURES ON BUGHOLES ARE NEEDED. THE ACI IS PROMOTING RESEARCH TO SOLVE THESE PROBLEMS. /AUTHOR/
