Abrasion induced by caster wheel traffic on concrete floors treated with surface reinforcing materials was investigated. The effects of concrete finishing, curing conditions, and the age of the surface reinforcing materials on abrasion resistance were evaluated.
The results demonstrate that proper curing after concrete placement is essential for enhancing the abrasion resistance of surface reinforcing materials against caster wheel traffic. Additionally, it was found that a specific curing period is required for the surface reinforcing materials to achieve their full abrasion-resistant capabilities.
