The purpose of steganography is to conceal and deceive. It is a form of covert communication and can involve the use of any medium to hide messages. It’s not a form of cryptography, because it doesn’t involve scrambling data or using a key.
What mil vapor barrier should I use?
Vapor barriers should be at least 6 mil in thickness to effectively cover the area and create a moisture barrier. Triangle Crawl Space Solutions uses both a 6 mil material for simple vapor barrier installation and a thicker more durable 12 mil vapor barrier material depending on the budget and needs of the home.
How thick should a vapor barrier be under a concrete slab?
The American Concrete Institute’s Guide for Concrete Floor and Slab Construction recommends that the thickness of the vapor retarder be at least 10 mils.
Where does vapor barrier go under slab?
- Most exterior slabs do not need a vapor barrier.
- In general, place the concrete slab directly on top of the vapor barrier, with the subbase below.
- The vapor barrier can be placed under the subbase, if the building is closed in when the dry subbase material is placed.
Why is water coming up through concrete floor?
Water can seep through concrete through an imbalance of relative humidity. The direction moisture moves is determined by the humidity in the concrete and air, so if the concrete has higher relative humidity than the surrounding air, it will release moisture into the air.
