2. Cracks in the terrazzo layer on the floor are mainly due to the tight construction period and unstable structural settlement; the cushion layer and the surface course are too tightly followed, the cushion material shrinks and is unstable, the hidden cable pipeline is too high, and the surrounding mortar The fixing is not good, causing cracks in the surface layer.
