After being dried the concrete face in contact with filler au DL/T 5115 — 2008 shall be coated with adhesive agent. If drying is impossible, adhesive agent for moist face shall be adopted. 7.5.4 If PVC or rubber rod is set at opening of joint, before filling plastic filler, PVC or rubber rod shall be embedded into the bottom opening of V-shaped groove, the surface of rod shall be in contact with the wall of joint firmly. PVC or rubber connector should be welded (adhered) and fixed. 7.5.5 Filling of plastic filler shall follow the technical requirements of manufacturer. 7.5.6 The finished outline of plastic filler shall comply with design requirements, no cracks or uneveness shall exist on the outside surface. Anti-seepage protective sheet shall be installed in sections after the outside surface of the filler is checked with mold. 7.5.7 Installation of anti-seepage protective sheet shall be made as soon as the filling of plastic filler is finished. Concrete surface in contact with anti-seepage protective sheet shall be flat and compact. Anti-seepage protective sheet shall be fixed firmly with anti-rust angle steel, flat steel or expansion bolt after the sheet is installed, to ensure a tightly sealed cavity is formed between anti-seepage protective sheet and concrete surface. The specification of angle steel or flat steel and bolt, and spacing between bolts shall comply with design requirements. Vulcanized or lap connection may be used for the connection between sheets. Overlap length shall be larger than 200mm. 7.6 Cohesionless filler construction 7.6.1 Cohesionless filler shall be filled from the bottom upward. In riverbed section, it shall be filled in layers, and compacted properly; its outside part may be protected directly with materials such as 22 DL/T 5115 — 2008 geotextile, soil and stone. If protective masks are provided on slope sections at both abutments, they shall be installed first, and then cohesionless filler is filled. 7.6.2 All the following items shall comply with design requirements, including raw material and size of cohesionless filler protective mask, specfication and spacing of angle steel and expansion bolt for fixing protective mask. Angle steel and expansion bolt shall be corrosion-proof. If fly ash is used as cohesionless filler, the contact face between its protective mask and concrete shall be tightly sealed. 7.6.3 If both plastic filler and cohesionless filler are used at the top of perimetric joint, the plastic filler shall be filled first and then cohesionless filler shall follow. 23 DL/T 5115 — 2008 8 Quality Control Criteria 8.0.1 Contractor shall establish quality assurance system; whole process including purchasing, processing, fabrication, installation, protecting and monitoring shall be put under quality control and check. 8.0.2 Quality of waterstop shall comply with the regulations in Chapter 6. 8.0.3 After waterstop is being shaped by processing and after connector is welded, no damages such as cracks and voids arising from fabricating, and no defects, such as skip weld and lack of fusion, shall exist. Weld joint of copper waterstop shall be inspected according to the requirements in 7.2.6, and installation shall be made after quality requirements are satisfied. Unqualified positions such as defects in fabricating or welding shall be marked with red paint. They shall be remedied in time and recorded. For quality requirements of fabrication, installation and connection of waterstop, refer to Tables 8.0.3-1 and 8.0.3-2.

Waterstop must be fixed firmly; its plane sections and upright rod must be cleaned completely; concrete placement can not be started until waterstop is accepted. 8.0.5 Inspection shall be made on displacment and deformation of waterstop and formwork during concrete placement. Defects shall be remedied in time if they are found. 8.0.6 Plastic filler construction cannot start until V-shaped groove surface of waterstop is qualified after treatment. Before filling, plastic filler material should be used to level the surface of concrete to a thickness of 2mm-3mm, so as to ensure a perfect bonding between plastic filler and concrete. After filling is completed, mold shall be used to check whether its dimensions satisfy design requirements every 30m - 50m. The firmness of bonding between plastic filler and V-shaped groove surface and the compactness of filling material shall be checked by cutting samples. If bonding quality is inferior, remedy shall be made. After being accepted, covering with anti-seepage protective sheet shall be made in time. Anti-seepage protective sheet for sealing plastic filler and firmness of expansion bolt shall be inspected by sampling. Items and requirements of quality inspection are listed in Table 8.0.6.
