Abstract
The present disclosure describes embodiments of an adherent layer that may be used to attach a geo-membrane to a concrete slab and methods that include installation of the adherent layer. The adherent layer can be used to inhibit the geo-membrane from becoming disengaged with the concrete slab and can thereby help prevent water from penetrating the geo-membrane and causing moisture damage to the structure above.
Claims25
A method for applying an adhesive layer to an underside of a concrete slab, the method comprising:
- applying a first geo-membrane sheet to a soil;
- applying a second geo-membrane sheet to the soil such that the second geo-membrane sheet overlaps the first geo-membrane sheet creating a seam there between;
- attaching an adherent layer to the both the first and second geo-membrane sheets to seal the seam, the adherent layer having a substrate, a first adhesive layer applied to a top of the substrate, a second adhesive layer applied to a bottom of the substrate and a textured layer applied to the top of the substrate and over the first adhesive layer;
- pouring concrete on the first geo-membrane sheet, the second geo-membrane sheet, and the adherent layer;
- and
- allowing the concrete to dry and form a bond with the adherent layer.

A method comprising:
- applying a first geo-membrane sheet to a soil, concrete, wood, or corrugated paper surface;
- applying a second geo-membrane sheet to the soil, concrete, wood, or corrugated paper surface such that the second geo-membrane sheet overlaps the first geo-membrane sheet creating a seam there between;
- attaching an adherent layer to both the first and second geo-membrane sheets to seal the seam, the adherent layer having a substrate, a first adhesive layer applied to a top of the substrate, a second adhesive layer applied to a bottom of the substrate and a textured layer applied to the top of the substrate and over the first adhesive layer;
- and
- pouring concrete on the first geo-membrane sheet, the second geo-membrane sheet, and the adherent layer such that the adherent layer forms a bond with the concrete upon drying of the concrete.
2 more elements
A method comprising:
- applying a geo-membrane directly to a soil, concrete, wood, or corrugated paper surface;
- attaching an adherent layer to the geo-membrane, the adherent layer having a substrate, a first adhesive layer applied to a top of the substrate, a second adhesive layer applied to a bottom of the substrate and a textured layer applied to the top of the substrate and over the first adhesive layer;
- and
- pouring concrete on the geo-membrane and the adherent layer such that the adherent layer forms a bond with the concrete upon drying of the concrete.
