Moisture vapor migrating through the slabs can also cause “efflorescence” or powdery crystalline deposit of salts on unsealed concrete. Moisture content in concrete is all about water and ...

Plastic-shrinkage and drying-shrinkage cracks are the most common types of random cracking that occur in concrete roads and ...

Vapor retarders are sheet materials used below slab-on-ground floors to limit the amount of moisture that migrates into and upward through concrete slabs. If unchecked, moisture can cause floor ...

Surface Spalling: Repeated exposure to moisture can cause the surface layer of concrete to flake or peel away. Erosion: Water runoff can erode the soil beneath concrete slabs, leading to uneven ...
