Unfortunately, Scoobie ran through freshly laid concrete and left a trail of paw prints in his wake.

If it doesn't — well, all the newly laid concrete and crenelated arch work and marble in Carrara won't change that.

At first, most lived in shacks or under tarpaulins, but eventually many laid concrete blocks for the foundations of their future homes and businesses.

He has false teeth and prays for twenty minutes before every meal, asks for help from the Creator for everyone, beginning with the orphan children and ending with the servicemen and servicewomen out there, your one-thousand-per-cent-Indian dad, who cries only in ceremony and has bad knees, which took a turn for the worse when you were ten and he laid concrete in your back yard for a basketball court.

In the 1950s, rose plantations were planted in the Rose Valley. At the end of the 1960s, the park saw some improvement. New lanes were laid, concrete dams were built, and lakes were cleared of silt. Now the central section of the park is decorated with several lakes covering nine hectares.

For the second phase of the Gyeongbu HSR, the RHEDA 2000 ballastless track system of German manufacturer RAIL.ONE was chosen. However, construction faced quality problems concerning sleepers and fastenings. In February 2009, cracks were found on 332 newly laid concrete sleepers on the long section between Daegu and Ulsan, the cause of which was improper water insulation.

'Blows', (underground springs) were encountered when excavating the lock's west wall foundations, undermining the work, and causing the newly laid concrete to crack. Work was delayed by remedial work to counter these springs, consisting of sunken centrifugal pumps used to draw of the water, temporarily reducing the local level of the water table. The lock was faced with granite. A pipe subway lined with cast iron segmental rings ran under part of the lock, carrying services (hydraulic, water, electricity).

The building is in two parts linked by an offset flat-roofed entrance bay. The longer left-hand section is oblong inside but with a "sinuous" kidney-shaped exterior. To the right is a smaller circular- or oval- shaped worship space lit by a round roof lantern. The left-hand worship space is also top-lit with square shafts; the exterior is entirely windowless, consisting of vertically laid concrete blocks in a pattern emulating stretcher bond brickwork.

The replacement of the Cattle Creep girders beyond Travis Perkins had already been completed. CURRENT STATUS (as at 21 December 2018) Ballast has been laid from the current railhead to Gasworks Bridge and from the Cattle Creep north to near the bridleway crossing at Travis Perkins. Concrete sleepers have been laid from the RH to where the sewer passes under the track, at which point steel sleepers have been laid. Concrete sleepers have also been laid for about 200m north from the Cattle Creep.

Advertisement for "Frankfurter Pfanne" from the 1950s From its market entry in 1954 until now, the "Frankfurter Pfanne" (English: Double Roman) has been the most laid concrete tile model in Germany. The main ingredients of a concrete roof tile are sand, concrete, water and colour pigments on an iron oxide basis. From the beginning, Braas gave a 30-year-guarantee on the materials of the "Frankfurter Pfanne" and was thus the first manufacturer in Germany to give long-term guarantees on building materials. In 1958, four years after market entry, the word and figurative mark "Frankfurter Pfanne" was registered with the patent office.

Each season had an individually filmed sequence for the opening credits. In season one, for example, a cartoon-like drawing of a freshly laid concrete sidewalk was displayed with the show title and stars' names scratched into its surface, while in the final season, the Cleavers left the house through the front door carrying picnic items (see List of Leave It to Beaver episodes for specific season opening sequences). Billingsley was the first to be introduced in all opening sequences, followed by Beaumont and Dow. Mathers was introduced last, with the voice-over line, "...and Jerry Mathers as The Beaver".

Barber Asphalt Co. acquired Hayden U.S. Patent No. 1,684,671, covering a "Method of preventing evaporation from concrete during curing." The patent describes a process for improving the curing of concrete by retarding the evaporation of water from poured concrete, as in a roadway. The process involves preparing a mixture of bitumen, soap, and water, which forms bituminous emulsion, and spraying this on freshly laid concrete. This forms an insoluble film on the surface of the concrete and by keeping the water in the concrete mixture from evaporating, facilitates a chemical reaction in which water molecules react with calcium hydroxide and other ingredients to form calcium-silicate hydrate.

The constables were then temporarily located at 1263 Burton until the township purchased of land in December 1947 on the northeast corner of 28th Street and DeHoop Avenue, constructing a town hall at the location in 1948 due to the increased development on 28th Street. In March 1949, the department arrested Raymond Fernandez and Martha Beck who murdered Delphine Downing and her toddler Rainell during a lonely hearts crime. Wyoming police discovered the bodies of Downing and her child in freshly-laid concrete in Downing's basement, with the brutality of the murders receiving nationwide coverage in the United States. Fernandez and Beck were ultimately extradited to New York for previous crimes, were tried and executed by electric chair in March 1951.

The permit allowed the first two earth moving contracts issued by the tollway authority to move forward. The tollway authority put the total cost of of new pavement at $450 million (equivalent to $ in ). Of the total cost, $325 million (equivalent to $ in ) was allocated for construction, $30 million (equivalent to $ in ) to alleviating environmental concerns, including moving and enlarging of wetlands, and $30 million (equivalent to $ in ) for utility relocation. Work in 1987 consisted primarily of excavation, embankment building and land acquisition. Because of problems with pavement on other roads in the system and anticipation of heavy traffic on the new Interstate, the tollway authority decided to pave I-355 with pavement expected to last 20 years. Construction workers laid concrete on the tollway to a thickness of over an sub-base.

Plaque in Leeds commemorating Joseph Aspdin William Aspdin is considered the inventor of "modern" Portland cement. Freshly laid concrete Portland cement was developed from natural cements made in Britain beginning in the middle of the 18th century. Its name is derived from its similarity to Portland stone, a type of building stone quarried on the Isle of Portland in Dorset, England. The development of modern Portland cement (sometimes called ordinary or normal Portland cement) began in 1756, when John Smeaton experimented with combinations of different limestones and additives, including trass and pozzolanas, relating to the planned construction of a lighthouse,Robert G. Blezard, "The History of Calcareous Cements" in Hewlett, Peter C., ed.. Leaʼs chemistry of cement and concrete. 4. ed. Amsterdam: Elsevier Butterworth- Heinemann, 2004. 1–24. Print.

Freshly laid concrete sidewalk, with horizontal strain-relief grooves faintly visible In the United States and Canada, the most common type of sidewalk consists of a poured concrete ribbon, examples of which from as early as the 1860s can be found in good repair in San Francisco, and stamped with the name of the contractor and date of installation. When Portland cement was first imported to the United States in the 1880s, its principal use was in the construction of sidewalks. Today, most sidewalk ribbons are constructed with cross-lying strain-relief grooves placed or sawn at regular intervals typically apart. This partitioning, an improvement over the continuous slab, was patented in 1924 by Arthur Wesley Hall and William Alexander McVay, who wished to minimize damage to the concrete from the effects of tectonic and temperature fluctuations, both of which can crack longer segments.
