Performance Requirements for a Successful Suspended Deck Waterproofing System
SourceASTM is to be commended for the work it has done establishing performance standards for certain generic materials used in waterproofing applications. These standards are represented in: Specification for High Solids Content, Cold Liquid-Applied Elastomeric Waterproofing Membrane for Use with Separate Wearing Course (C 836), Guide for Use of High Solids Content, Cold Liquid-Applied Elastomeric Waterproofing Membrane with Separate Wearing Course (C 898), Specifications for High-Solids Content, Cold Liquid-Applied Elastomeric Waterproofing Membrane with Integral Wearing Surface (C 957), and Guide for Design of Built-Up Bituminous Membrane Waterproofing Systems for Building Decks (C 981). They detail physical properties desired in the various materials and their application techniques for waterproofing building decks over habitable space.
