ABSTRACT:
A method to construct a plaza deck/parking structure in which a waterproof membrane is applied to the base deck. Panels of foam insulation material are provided on top of the membrane and on the upper side of these panels there is a channeled/ribbed structure. Affixed to the top of the ribs in each panel is a porous fabric which permits moisture and water vapor to penetrate the fabric and collect in the channels. The existence of the fabric layer permits the addition of concrete to the structure by simply pouring wet concrete directly onto the fabric-covered foam panels, instead of having to transport solid, heavy concrete slabs to the top of parking structures. The channeled/ribbed structure of the foam plastic insulation provides for ventilation and moisture removal which leads to better wearability of the insulation material in the plaza deck parking structure.
