Record number: 1, Textual support number: 1 CONT

Capillary Rise of Ground Moisture : Moisture travels upward by capillary action--as much as 14 to 18 gallons per day have been noted under a 1, 000 square-foot house--and evaporates within the crawl space. Capillary rise occurs in nearly all areas where the soil is clay or silt. Capillary action is the effect of surface tension that causes water to rise up a narrow tube, against the effect of gravity. In building construction, capillary action can occur between two surfaces placed together, or within porous materials. This relates to the installation of wood flooring in that moisture can be drawn through both the subfloor and the concrete below it.  4, record 1, English, - capillary%20rise%20of%20soil%20moisture

Dans un sol non saturé le sens du flux est en fait commandé par le gradient de potentiel, c'est-à-dire que l'eau diffuse dans le sens décroissant du potentiel total. Il existe souvent une zone où le potentiel total passe par un maximum. Au-dessus de cette zone, le flux est ascendant par ascension capillaire; au-dessous, il est descendant par percolation.  3, record 1, French, - ascension%20capillaire%20de%20l%27eau%20dans%20le%20sol

How do you fix a floor with a vapor transmission problem? There are lots of partial solutions, but no 'sure thing’ short of pouring new concrete over a new vapor barrier. A ’Breathable’ system is one common solution. This lets the moisture pass through. Depending upon your requirements, especially if you’re just looking for an attractive surface, this may be all you need.

A device for small installations, comprising one or more pits extending into porous strata and lined with open-jointed stone, concrete block, precast concrete, or similar walls, capped, and provided with a means of access, such as a manhole cover. It serves to introduce into the ground, by seepage, the partly treated effluent of a water-carriage wastewater disposal system.  2, record 9, English, - seepage%20pit

Record number: 9, Textual support number: 1 CONT

The seepage pit is usually made of concrete block or is a precast concrete unit. Typically, 8-in. thick block are used, and they are laid with the cells (holes) placed horizontally to allow the effluent to seep into the ground. The tapered cells of the block are set with the widest area to the outside to reduce the amount of loose material behind the lining that might fall into the pit. The typical precast concrete seepage pit shown in Fig. 5-14 is the same unit used for drywells. The bottom of the pit is lined with coarse gravel a minimum of 1 ft deep before the block or concrete is placed. Between the block or concrete and the soil is a minimum of 6 in. of clean crushed stone or gravel. Straw is placed on top of the gravel to keep sand from filtering down and reducing the effectiveness of the gravel. The top of the pit should have an opening with a watertight cover to provide access to the pit if necessary. The construction of the pit above the inlet pipe should be watertight.  3, record 9, English, - seepage%20pit

An entirely different approach to conductive concrete is being taken by Jim Beaudouin at the Institute for Research and Construction in Ottawa. Adding carbon fibre to concrete is expensive. His approach is to use a conductive aggregate instead. The substance in question is porous carbon, a form of coke that is a by-product of steel making.
