    What is the recommended minimum base thickness for pavers in walkway applications?

    • 4-6"

    • 8"

    • 10"

    • 12"

    Correct Answer
    A. 4-6"
    Explanation
    The recommended minimum base thickness for pavers in walkway applications is 4-6 inches. This thickness provides adequate stability and support for the pavers, ensuring that they can withstand foot traffic and other loads without shifting or sinking. A thicker base may be necessary for heavier applications or in areas with poor soil conditions, but for most walkway projects, a base thickness of 4-6 inches is sufficient.

    • 10-12"

    Correct Answer
    A. 6-8"
    Explanation
    The recommended overdig for paver base preparation is 6-8 inches. This depth allows for proper compaction of the base material and provides a stable foundation for the pavers. A deeper overdig of 10-12 inches may be necessary in areas with poor soil conditions or heavy traffic, but for most applications, 6-8 inches is sufficient.

    Efflorescence is a normal occurrence with concrete products and will dissipate over time?

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    Efflorescence is a common phenomenon in concrete products where white or grayish salt deposits appear on the surface. These deposits are caused by the migration of water-soluble salts to the surface of the concrete as it dries. Over time, as the concrete continues to cure and weather, these salts will gradually dissolve and be washed away, causing the efflorescence to dissipate. Therefore, it is true that efflorescence is a normal occurrence with concrete products and will eventually go away on its own.
