Where can you buy concrete retarder to create an exposed finish in Calgary Alberta?
When we did our exposed concrete finish we used white sugar. This was a process used by our concrete finisher. He mixed it like a syrup and sprayed the forms. I used regular granulated sugar because it was a flat surface and I didn't have a sprayer... could try it on a small project first.

If a concrete bridge is exposed to sunlight on a very hot day would it expand or contract?
The concrete bridge would expand when exposed to sunlight on a very hot day due to the heat causing the material to increase in size. As the concrete absorbs heat, the molecules within the material move faster and take up more space, leading to expansion.
