Study of Poured-in-Place Concrete Wall Assemblies in Coastal British Columbia
64908

This study analyzes and documents performance issues associated with poured-in-place concrete wall assemblies in the wet coastal climate region of British Columbia. Guidelines are also developed for appropriate design and construction practices. The study investigates the effects of building form, rain penetration control, air leakage control, vapour diffusion control, thermal performance, and concrete construction practices on the performance of poured-in-place concrete wall systems.
