That’s pretty bad. Did the contractor bother to vibrate the air bubbles out of the concrete?

One old school technique is to cover the freshly set up concrete with burlap and then keep the burlap wet long enough for the concrete to cure without cracking.

Also, concrete can be sprayed with curing compound, to reduce or prohibit cracking.

Another technique is to cut the concrete with a concrete (wet) saw to install control joints that permit the concrete to crack at the control joints, and to provide some stress relief, again preventing cracks.

Too much water, not enough cement, and aggregates. Looks like he under bid the concrete to either get the job on his resume, or to cut a fat hog in the ass and pocket mo’money, or was on the verge of bankruptcy and cut back on ingredients hoping save money and not get caught.

Obama has said he hopes the center would help promote the city's South Side and bring Chicagoans together.

If you want to promote the South Side, get the gangs out and make it safe for people to walk down the street.
