DESIGN OF SLABS-ON-GROUND 360R-17
slab, and cannot detect moisture below a depth of 3/4 in.
(19 mm). To better quantify moisture in slabs, ASTM F 2170
was developed for the use of relative humidity probes.
Drainage of the subgrade and the selection of subgrade
materials will have a great influence
on the performance of
vapor retarders/barriers. Also, protection of the vapor
retarders/barriers from damage during construction can
significantly influence the retarder/barrier’s effectiveness.
Vapor retarders/barriers have been reported to affect the
behavior of the concrete in the
slab by increasing finishing
time, promoting cracking, increasing slab curling, and
reducing strength. These problems, however, may be less
costly than performance failures related
to excessive moisture
emission from the slab surface.
