True or false: A Bresle patch is used to treat dynamic cracks in concrete, especially in secondary containment structures around tanks.

What surface preparation method for concrete produces the largest profile?

True or false: The main reason for using citric acid to etch concrete is to create a profile coarser than that created by other etching agents.
