WATERPROOFING AND DAMPPROOFING WATERPROOFING OF CONCRETE A mortar or concrete is considered impermeable when it does not permit passage or flow of water through its pores or voids. The absorption of a mortar or concrete is the property of drawing in or engrossing water into its pores or voids by capillary action or otherwise. If the pores or voids between particles are sufficiently large and connected from surface to surface of the wall, the concrete will be permeable to water. If the pores or voids are very minute, but connect with one another, theoretically they may act as capillary tubes, but the capillary forces will tend to hold the water and prevent the passage of water.

WATERPROOFING AND DAMPPROOFING WATERPROOFING OF CONCRETE The various methods of waterproofing concrete may be classified as follows : a. Impermeability through a Dense Concrete Accurate grading and proportioning of the concrete materials in order to secure a concrete so dense as to be waterproof. Waterproofing Coatings and Washes Applying waterproof coatings or washes to the concrete after it is in place.

WATERPROOFING AND DAMPPROOFING WATERPROOFING OF CONCRETE a. Impermeability through a Dense Concrete Portland cement mortar and concrete can be made practically waterproof or impermeable without the use of any integral waterproofing materials; but in order to obtain such impermeable concrete or mortar considerable care should be exercised in selecting good materials : Well-graded sands containing considerable graded fine material are preferable for making impermeable concrete, or fine material in the form of hydrated lime, finely ground clay, or an additional quantity of cement will be of value. The consistency of the concrete mixture should be wet enough so that it can be puddled, mixture should be well spaded against the forms to avoid the formation of pockets on the surface. Care should be taken not to over trowel which may cause erasing the coating will be effective.

WATERPROOFING AND DAMPPROOFING WATERPROOFING OF CONCRETE Permeable concrete results from : Defective workmanship, resulting from improper proportioning, lack of thorough mixing, separation of the coarse aggregate from fine aggregate in transporting and placing the mixed concrete, lack of density through insufficient tamping or spading, improper bonding of work joints . The use of imperfectly sized and graded aggregates.

1.01

The use of excessive water, causing shrinkage cracks and formation of laitance-seams .
The lack of proper provision to take care of expansion and contraction, causing subsequent cracking .

WATERPROOFING AND DAMPPROOFING WATERPROOFING OF CONCRETE b. Waterproofing Coatings and Washes The materials employed as surface coatings may be classified as follows : Alum and soap mixtures applied in alternate mixtures (known as the Sylvester process), which penetrates the pores of the concrete forming insoluble compounds due to chemical action between the alum and soap solutions, and these compounds prevent percolation. - use in proportions of gal. of soap to 1 gal. of water, and 2oz. of alum to 1 gal. of water, both substances to be perfectly dissolved in water before using. - should be applied with a soft, flat brush (one for each solution), the soap boiling hot and the alum solution at 60 to 70F.

WATERPROOFING AND DAMPPROOFING WATERPROOFING OF CONCRETE b. Waterproofing Coatings and Washes Specially prepared bituminous products, e.g., FLINT-KOTE, JOHN-MANSVILLE, etc Asphalt emulsions - Generally called Asphalt Base Clay Emulsions, minute asphalt particles dispersed in water and maintained in suspension (until applied) by a mineral colloid emulsifying agent. When the water vehicle evaporates, resilient reinforced weatherproof film remains which resist the passage of free water but allows movement of water vapor through the film and are classed as breathing films. Cutback Asphalts - composed of a variety of products from thin liquids to heavy paste, often one or more asphalts dissolved in solvent are filled with minerals and fibers to meet requirements of different coating uses and provide tough, durable films resistant to the passage of water vapor.

Integral Waterproofing Compounds These are manufactured and sold under various trade names, and are available in powder or liquid form, e.g.: SAHARA POZOLITH AQUELLA Truscon ZILICON ANTI-HYDRO The addition of the integral waterproofing compounds will not, however, compensate for lean mixtures, nor for poor materials, nor for poor workmanship in the fabrication of concrete

Corrugated galvanized iron sheets are manufactured in lengths of 5 to 12 ft. in 1 ft. increments, the 8 ft length being the most commonly used. Width of sheets is 32. Each sheet has 10 corrugations with a pitch of 3. For roofing, Ga. 26 is generally specified, Ga. 24 is preferred. Galvanized iron sheets are also sometimes used as siding for industrial buildings. When used as siding, courses shall be lapped at least 6.

Corrugated aluminum is rigidized sheet fabricated of special aluminum alloys specifically developed for this purpose. Has a high insulating value and is about onesixth lighter than similar materials. Is silvery in color, strong and does not stain adjoining materials. It reacts, however, with dissimilar materials, lead-base paints green or damp wood, certain wood preservatives, lime mortar, concrete, and other masonry materials and must be insulated from contact with these materials . Width of sheets are 32-5/8, 32, 31-1/2, 311/8, and 30-5/8; lengths are from 6 to 12 ft. in 1 ft. increments. Number of corrugations for 32 sheets and wider is 12; sheets of narrower width have 10 corrugations.
