In addition it has been shown that the MVER test only reflects the amount of moisture present in the top 1/2” to 3/4” of the concrete slab. According to concrete floor specialist Peter Craig ...

Petrone and her team are focusing on the integrity and performance of structures built using 3D-printed LEGO-like concrete modules. The team’s experimental program, which began in early 2024, involves ...

Its structural behaviour differs significantly from traditional reinforced concrete. Moreover, it is susceptible to structural failure when exposed to moisture. The bubbles can allow water to ...

A 4-inch-thick concrete slab was to be placed on a vapor retarder resting on the base mat in preparation for installing a glue-down, moisture-sensitive floor covering. In a value-engineering move ...

Vapor retarders are sheet materials used below slab-on-ground floors to limit the amount of moisture that migrates into and upward through concrete slabs. If unchecked, moisture can cause floor ...
