Webinar 1
Topic: Proactively Address Moisture in Roof Assemblies
Description: Moisture within roof assemblies, or the concern over such, can be a major focus of discussion for the design/build community due to project schedule delays and disruptions to businesses and institutions. Despite the disruption to projects this issue causes, there remain significant misunderstandings across the industry regarding product warranties, field moisture tests and just how long it takes concrete "to dry".
Learning Objectives:
1) examine the role of water in concrete and address misunderstandings about processes of hydration, drying, and curing of a concrete slab
2) identify various sources of roof system moisture and discuss how they can be addressed to protect a structural roof concrete deck and prevent failure of the roofing assembly
3) explain why moisture vapor reduction admixtures (MVRAs) effectively shut down moisture vapor movement through concrete, and
4) specify appropriate design processes, procedures, and site conditions that can minimize roof system installation delays due to excess concrete slab moisture, subsequent bond failures and design team liability for each
