Bonded reinforced plastic concrete vapor barrier

Abstract

A reinforced vapor barrier for application to a concrete structure, a concrete structure containing said reinforced vapor barrier, and a method of forming said concrete structure is provided. The reinforced vapor barrier includes a polymeric sheet and a continuous reinforcement material. The continuous reinforcement material is at least partially embedded within the polymeric sheet with a portion thereof protruding from a surface of the polymeric sheet, such that the protruding reinforcement material interacts with the concrete structure. The interaction of the protruding continuous reinforcement material with the concrete structure connects, joins, bonds, or attaches the reinforced vapor barrier to the concrete structure.

Dependencies are inferred from the claim text.
