Content DescriptionThis guide contains materials, design, and construction recommendations for concrete slabs-on-ground and suspended slabs that are to receive moisture-sensitive flooring materials. These flooring materials include sheet rubber, epoxy coatings, vinyl composition tile, sheet vinyl, carpet, athletic flooring, laminates, and hardwood. Chapters 1 through 8 provide an understanding of concrete moisture behavior and drying, and show how recommended construction practices can contribute to successful performance of floor covering materials. This background provides a basis for the recommendations in Chapter 9 to improve performance of floor covering materials in contact with concrete moisture and alkalinity. Because this guide is specific to floor moisture problems and solutions, refer to the most current editions of both ACI 302.1R, “Guide for Concrete Floor and Slab Construction,” and ACI 360R, “Design of Slabs-on-Ground,” for general information. These two documents contain guidance on floor design and construction that is needed to achieve successful floor covering performance. Keywords: admixtures; cracking; curing; curling; drying; mixture proportioning; moisture movement; moisture test; relative humidity; slab-on-ground; specifications; vapor retarder/barrier.This book also exists in the following packages...About ACIFounded in 1904 and headquartered in Farmington Hills, Michigan, USA, the American Concrete Institute is a leading authority and resource worldwide for the development and distribution of consensus-based standards, technical resources, educational & training programs, certification programs, and proven expertise for individuals and organizations involved in concrete design, construction, and materials, who share a commitment to pursuing the best use of concrete. ACI has over 95 chapters, 110 student chapters, and nearly 20,000 members spanning over 120 countries. |
