All drive finishes have problems, one problem with concrete is

that can be overcome, to some extent by moulds. The other problem is


having laid a large slab of concrete eventual settlement results in

cracking. No way to stop that, it even happens to reinforced

runways,
or the concrete motorways they "experimented" with, like the M6 just
South of Stafford.



I wonder if with these moulded patterns, the cracks would tend to occur
in the dips, where the crete is thinner and the cracks very much less
visible?
