Standard Guide For Use of High Solid Content
Standard Guide For Use of High Solid Content
Scope : This method describes the use of high solid content cold applied
liquid - applied elastomeric waterproofing membrane in a
waterproofing system subject to hydrostatic pressure for building
deck over occupied space where membrane is covered with a
separate protective wearing course.
Major components:
Design Considerations:-
Density and
Moisture content : Density of concrete and moisture content when cured
are interrelated and can affect adhesion of the
membrane to the substrate with an excessively high
moisture content, moisture may condense to the
membrane and concrete interface and cause
membrane de-lamination. It is a very critical factor to
be considered during monsoon period.
(No condensation should take place, when an air tight glass
plate is placed on the concrete surface for 4hours- Day time.)
INSTALLATION
Substrate – The concrete surface to be treated shall
be free of laitance, loose, aggregate, sharp
projections, and grease oil dirt curing compounds or
other contaminants that could affect the complete
bonding of liquid applied to the concrete.
