Pouring Joints: Traces of Layer by Layer

A concrete wall showing the layers of construction. There is a horizontal construction joint at regular height intervals, with a slight color difference between the upper and lower layers. There may be slight misalignment and traces of leakage at the joints. The heights between layers are not completely identical. These joints indicate that the wall was poured in separate stages, serving as a record of time and process. Avoid: smoothing out the joints, making the height of each layer perfectly consistent, using fake decorative grooves to simulate, making the wall a single pour without layering.

一面可以看出施工分層的混凝土牆。每隔一段高度有一道水平的澆置接縫,上下兩層的顏色略有差異,接縫處可能有輕微的錯位與滲漏的痕跡;層與層之間的高度不完全相同。這些縫說明了牆是分次澆築起來的,是時間與工序的紀錄。避免:把接縫磨平消除、讓每一層的高度完全一致、使用假的裝飾溝縫模擬、把牆做成一次成型沒有分層。
