Abstract
Moisture problems are prevalent all over North America, almost independent of climate. With an understanding of moisture in concrete and the various test methods available to quantify that moisture, simple strategies to mitigate moisture problems can be employed. But a strategy cannot be employed if the moisture problem is never quantified.
This presentation identifies the various types of moisture issues present day in and day out and outlines the methods available to discover hidden moisture conditions.
