This course provides an overview of the considerations for specifying concrete to receive floor coverings, with guidance on proper specification of concrete mix design, placement, and curing methods to secure a warranted floor covering system for the project. Special emphasis on the environmental concerns of product choice application technique and time savings are combined in a systems approach for improved overall concrete placement.
Learning Objectives:
- Identify and list some of the common flooring failures caused by moisture movement due to improper design, placement, and curing of the concrete.
- Describe the impacts of these flooring failures on human health, materials and labor costs, and delays and scheduling conflicts as remediation occurs.
- Discuss how improper water/cement ratio, mix design, placement, finishing, and curing can impact the moisture levels in concrete.
- Restate the importance of communication among all parties involved in flooring installation so that unhealthy, unsafe, and costly flooring failures can be prevented.
