Course Description: AEC Daily: Underslab Vapor Retarders in Buildings
Underslab moisture is something that designers need to take into consideration in both the design and construction phases of a building project. It can cause many problems for the building and the health of its occupants over the course of its life span; however, if properly addressed during design and construction, many of these issues can be mitigated. This course looks at the different types of moisture movement that exist below the slab, examines solutions for a variety of site conditions, and reviews best practices for managing moisture.
Identify types of moisture movement below the slab and how they can affect the building design.
Explore the effects of uncontrolled moisture movement in order to mitigate them through design detailing and product selection.
Explain industry standards and test methods that are relevant to better designed and built concrete slabs.
Identify appropriate products and site requirements for the design and construction of structural slabs.
Examine slab design best practices and installation methods to protect the long-term durability of the building.
