Generally, concrete floors and structures bear heavy loads. The weight of these loads can cause damage, cracking, or deterioration of the floors and other concrete structures. The fragility of concrete floors usually arises from two main factors. The first is due to design errors, which include:

• Poor concrete workmanship.
• Aggregates that are too large.
• Incorrect composition of cement, sand, and water.
• Imperfect compaction due to dense reinforcement.
• Cement paste leaking from poorly sealed molds.

The second cause of concrete floor fragility is usage-related factors, such as:

• Dropping heavy objects.
• Serving as a testing ground for equipment or vehicles.
• Spills of oil, grease, and chemicals.
• Cleaning the concrete floor with high-pressure water.

One consideration for applying floor coating (Epoxy) to concrete floors is to minimize the fragility caused by usage, ultimately prolonging the lifespan of the concrete floor. It is essential to consider using professional epoxy services and the right type of floor coating material.
