1 Water Flow Through Slab Joseph Lstiburek, Ph.D., P.Eng Building Science Some Interesting Stuff on Slabs From under the slab From the edge of the slab From the slab itself presented by Joseph Lstiburek 2 Mechanisms of Flow Liquid Bulk Hydrostatic Pressure Capillary Concentration Gradient Osmosis Concentration Gradient Vapor Diffusion Vapor Pressure Air Transport Air Pressure Joseph Lstiburek 3 Joseph Lstiburek 4 Lstiburek Some Intersting Stuff on Slabs 1 of 34

4 Fick s Law (Fourier s Law) direct functions Heat Flow Q = A u t delta T Vapor Flow M = A u t delta Pv A = surface area u = thermal conductance T = temperature u = permeance Pv= vapor pressure Joseph Lstiburek 13 Joseph Lstiburek 14 Surface Tension: Wettable Water attracted to surface more than self Water attracted to self more than surface Joseph Lstiburek 15 Joseph Lstiburek 16 Lstiburek Some Intersting Stuff on Slabs 4 of 34

5 Capillary Pressures Calculating capillary rise Result of surface tension = attraction to surfaces pressure varies with pore size e.g., height rise in a glass tube Surface tension up Gravity Down Joseph Lstiburek 17 Joseph Lstiburek 18 Capillary rise versus diameter Capillary Flow Eg. : Crushed stone, air gaps large pores - no suction ( wicking ) capillary rise [inch] diameter [inch] Joseph Lstiburek 19 Joseph Lstiburek 20 Lstiburek Some Intersting Stuff on Slabs 5 of 34

6 Capillary Flow Capillary Flow- concrete sucks Example: Sand, siding laps Smaller pores - some wicking (inches to feet) Example: Clay or silt Wicking (dozens - hundreds of ft) Joseph Lstiburek 21 Joseph Lstiburek 22 Joseph Lstiburek 23 Lstiburek Some Intersting Stuff on Slabs 6 of 34

11 Capillarity + Salt = Osmosis Mineral salts carried in solution by capillary water When water evaporates from a surface the salts left behind form crystals in process called efflorescence When water evaporated beneath a surface the salts crystallize within the pore structure of the material in called subefflorescence The salt crystallization causes expansive forces that can exceed the cohesive strength of the material leading to spalling Joseph Lstiburek 41 Joseph Lstiburek 42 Diffusion + Capillarity + Osmosis = Problem Diffusion Vapor Pressure 3 to 5 psi Capillary Pressure 300 to 500 psi Osmosis Pressure 3,000 to 5,000 psi Joseph Lstiburek 43 Joseph Lstiburek 44 Lstiburek Some Intersting Stuff on Slabs 11 of 34

20 Sand Layer = Never Needed It Control of cracking by soaking up excess mix water (use less water) Control of slab curl by soaking up excess mix water (use less water) Protects poly by reducing punctures (punctures don t matter if air flow doesn t occur - use concrete as air barrier) Allows finishing to occur faster by soaking up excess mix water (use less water) Joseph Lstiburek 77 Joseph Lstiburek 78 Joseph Lstiburek 79 Joseph Lstiburek 80 Lstiburek Some Intersting Stuff on Slabs 20 of 34

21 Less Water in Concrete, No Sand Layer, Polyethylene Wrapped Around Slab Edge and Polyethylene Capillary Break Under All Plates Continuous Wet Cure For 72 hours -When You Need It You Don t Always Need It - Pick Your Spots Water-to-cement ratio of 0.45 Mid range water reducer (Polyheed, Daracem, Mira) Fly ash is recommended - actually required in many regions for sulfate resistance and corrosion resistance ( Type F up to 30 percent may be used) Good things happen Lower permeability Increased sulfate resistance Reduced shrinkage and cracking Reduced curl Increased corrosion resistance Strength can be used as a surrogate for w/c ratio (4,000 psi) for field verification Necessary for dry windy hot months out west - June through October for CA, AZ, NV Dam the slab - pond water on top of slab Use burlap and keep it wet - can be covered with polyethylene Nothing is better than a continuous wet cure - nothing, nothing, nothing Curing compounds don t work - the good ones were banned Consider also using control joints or polypropylene mesh to control shrinkage cracking To get low water-to-cement ratio, don t just add cement - just adding cement increases shrinkage cracking Use combination of mid-range water reducer, increased cement content and fly ash Fly ash replaces cement and doesn t react immediately so that sufficient water is available to finish slab - finishing slabs becomes very difficult with w/c ratios below the fly ash kicks in later Joseph Lstiburek 81 Joseph Lstiburek 82 Joseph Lstiburek 83 Joseph Lstiburek 84 Lstiburek Some Intersting Stuff on Slabs 21 of 34
