Moisture in Concrete Decks

To obtain a copy of a specific publication, users should contact the publication's publisher directly.

Abstract
Concrete roof decks on buildings constructed during the mid-20th century consist primarily of cast-in-place concrete decks without stay-in-place metal forms or precast concrete elements covered with site-placed topping slabs. Both types of construction allow excess concrete moisture to eventually evaporate from the underside of roof decks.
