It is imperative to adhere to good concrete practices. This includes cutting joints within twelve hours after the concrete is placed. These joints are to be cut to a depth of 1/3 the thickness of the slab per ACI.

When a soft cut saw is used, care should be taken to insure raveling will not occur at the joint. This may require waiting a few additional minutes when the slab is reinforced with steel fibers. A test cut may be appropriate.
