Photo courtesy GAF<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>In recent years, the roofing industry has become increasingly aware of the problems caused by moisture in concrete decks that can migrate into the roofing system. Originally thought to only be a problem with lightweight structural concrete (LWSC), recent research raises concerns with moisture migration from normal concrete decks as well. Shorter construction schedules and moisture-sensitive roof system components can aggravate the problem<\/p>\n<p>It is incumbent on specifiers and designers of roof systems that will be installed over new concrete decks to understand the issues with normal and lightweight structural concrete.<\/p>\n<p>This and other challenges related to building enclosures are covered in the newest volume in <em>The Construction Specifier\u2019s<\/em> series of free, downloadable e-books. \u201cEvolution of Building Enclosures\u201d is a curated collection of magazine articles with topics ranging from cavity wall design and specifying masonry wall systems to dealing with moisture in roof decks. The e-book also includes a look at the durability of tapes and flashing.<\/p>\n<p>Download the \u201cEvolution of Building Enclosures\u201d e-book in two different formats\u2014pdf or digital
