ACI 302.2R-06 PDF Download

The ACI 302.2R-06 standard provides guidelines for the design and construction of concrete slabs on ground and suspended slabs that will be exposed to moisture-sensitive flooring materials. These flooring materials include types such as rubber, epoxy coatings, vinyl composition tile, sheet vinyl, carpet, athletic flooring, laminates, and hardwood.

The guide is divided into nine chapters, with the first eight chapters focusing on concrete moisture behavior and drying. These chapters help readers understand the factors that affect moisture in concrete and how construction practices can influence the performance of the flooring materials. Chapter 9 then provides specific recommendations to improve the performance of flooring materials when they come into contact with concrete moisture and alkalinity.

It is important to note that this guide is specifically dedicated to addressing floor moisture problems and providing solutions for moisture-sensitive flooring materials. For general information on floor design and construction, it is recommended to refer to the most current editions of ACI 302.1R, "Guide for Concrete Floor and Slab Construction," and ACI 360R, "Design of Slabs-on-Ground."
