| 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.
