One of the greatest problems facing the flooring industry is moisture vapor emission associated with concrete floors. Coatings blister and peel, wood flooring warps and buckles, adhesives fail to perform and carpet grows mold costing millions of dollars in claims, repairs and serviceability issues. This paper will discuss the causes, evaluation and mitigation methods to address this issue.
Cracks in a concrete substrate pose a challenge for coatings. Cracks that are not properly identified and addressed can lead to premature failure of the coating. This paper will discuss the forces that cause cracking in concrete structures, as well as crack types and repair techniques.

Concrete is one of the most durable construction materials available, but all too frequently we ignore its maintenance. Many of the techniques called "coating", "protection", and corrosion mitigation are, maintenance of concrete. The life span of concrete structures can be significantly extended by pro-actively addressing deterioration and durability issues through keeping water and other deleterious materials out of concrete after it has properly cured
Successful repair material and coating applications are dependent on proper concrete surface preparation where different technologies and methods must be reviewed and characterized, as well as quality control methods used to increase the successful application of materials applied to existing concrete surfaces.
