Construction of concrete cylinder curing rooms

Construction of concrete cylinder curing rooms

Construction of concrete cylinder curing rooms

(OP)
I was informed by my Geotechnical engineer that his curing room needs to stay at 100% humidity at all times. I am looking for information on how these rooms are commonly constructed. It seems that cmu walls are common however it seems to me that this is excessive and it doesn't answer the question about how to construct the ceiling. Please help.

It depends on what curing regime/material/testing method etc you want to follow.

RE: Construction of concrete cylinder curing rooms

Our moisture room has CMU walls with pre-cast concrete ceiling all coated with water proofing.  The humidity level is maintained with an air compressor and a water line (atomized water).  We go through roughly 250 cylinders a day.
