Finite Element Modelling Of Moisture Movement In Concrete Floors, Niall Holmes, Roger West
Finite Element Modelling Of Moisture Movement In Concrete Floors, Niall Holmes, Roger West
Conference papers
Predictive methods for determining the point at which it is safe to apply floor coverings to concrete floors can save time and money for the client, contractor and the floor installer. The current standard states that impervious floor coverings should not be applied until the surface of the floor reaches a relative humidity (RH) of 75%, established using a surface hygrometer test. Tests at Trinity College Dublin on drying concrete slabs in natural and forced drying environments show that there is a large variation in the residue of moisture deep in the concrete when the floor covering is applied, particularly …
Moisture Re-Distribution In Concrete Under Impermeable Coverings, Niall Holmes
Moisture Re-Distribution In Concrete Under Impermeable Coverings, Niall Holmes
Conference papers
It is normally considered safe to apply an impermeable floor covering to concrete surfaces when the surface relative humidity reaches 75% as determined by a surface hygrometer. However, over time, defects can appear on the covering such as blistering of vinyl and rising of tiles from the surface. One cause is the on-going diffusion of the residual moisture deep within the slab to the surface. The covering traps this residual moisture, thus preventing evaporation to the ambient air and gradually generates a vapour pressure underneath the covering, which can result in damage.
Here, experimental results on the long-term influence of …
