frente libre de la masa

Spanish to English Tech/Engineering Construction / Civil Engineering Specifications for concreting
If concrete is being poured into an element which is simultaneously being vibrated - el vibrador no se introducirá a menos de 1,00 m del frente libre de la masa.

surface/area/zone without (free of) the mix (mix/paste of concrete)

In this context it is saying that you cannot put (introducirá) the vibrator at any less than 1 meter from the area which does not have the concrete mix, or more clearly that the vibrator must be at least 1 meter from the edge of the area or surface that has the mix, basically a 1 meter border free of the concrete mix and the vibrator should be no closer than this

the free surface (of the concrete)

When in a vertical form, the closest distance for the air bubbles’ migration is to the interior form surface. If these bubbles are not directed vertically to the free surface of the setting concrete, after form removal, bugholes will be present if not abundant.
