After completing
the course successfully, participants will be able to:
Explain
the importance of integrating concrete moisture control systems into project
design to ensure long-term durability, prevent flooring failures, and
maximize the performance of finishes and flooring.
Determine
measures to take before a slab is poured to minimize moisture in the floor
after installation.
Identify the
best location for a vapor barrier used in conjunction with a concrete
slab.
Demonstrate
the value of waiting as long as possible for concrete to dry, before
applying flooring on top.
Apply key
ASTM standards and testing procedures for moisture in concrete to ensure
proper evaluation and management, preventing moisture-related issues in the
project.
Assess
high-performance concrete moisture control systems, along with
industry-leading features, materials, and best practices, to enhance
warranties, improve flooring longevity, and ensure safety in commercial
environments.
Examine
relevant projects and applications to appreciate the transformative
contributions of concrete moisture control systems to successful
architectural projects.
Use
information presented to decide at which layer(s) of slab construction to
implement moisture control.
