Abstract: The apparent quality of concrete structures is an intuitive external representation of the quality of the structural entity, the level of construction technology, and the durability of the project, and is not simply a matter of appearance.
There is a common industry problem in the current field of construction and municipal engineering, which emphasizes structural strength over apparent quality, prioritizes subjective experience calculation over refined process control.
Honeycomb, rough surface, bubbles, exposed reinforcement, holes, slag inclusions, edge and corner defects, surface cracks, and uneven color surface defects have been widely present for a long time.

Most participating units classify such problems as minor quality defects and adopt simple repair and masking treatments, without conducting root cause tracing and systematic rectification, resulting in the continuous existence of construction process hazards, directly affecting the compactness, protective layer thickness, carbonation resistance, and long-term service durability of concrete structures.
