Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sheet membrane waterproofing has been used to protect bridge decks against water and deicing salts by transportation agencies in New England for more than two decades. Though such membranes have proven useful at extending the useful life of bridge decks, there are no convenient methods to evaluate one membrane against another. This report details the genesis of blisters, a major problem for membranes, and defines test procedures to evaluate sheet membranes based on their ability to adhere to concrete, accommodate strain, resist puncturing, and pass water vapor. The results of these tests allow an engineer to compare sheet membranes based on material properties but they, alone, cannot be used to predict how well a membrane will perform in practice. Because a laboratory environment does not reflect the complex combination of forces and deterioration mechanisms a membrane is exposed to in the field, a follow-on study of the installation/design process and long-term performance of membranes in actual bridges needs to be conducted. This report provides a needed step toward the ability to predict sheet membrane service life.

This book was released on 1995 with total page 80 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This synthesis will be of interest to research, specifications, materials, design, and construction engineers; contract and specification administrators; agency project managers and staff; and concrete bridge deck construction contractors. This synthesis describes the state of the practice with respect to the development and present status of waterproofing membranes for concrete bridge decks. This report of the Transportation Research Board describes the use of waterproofing systems applied to new bridge decks and the rehabilitation of deteriorated concrete bridge decks. In addition, this synthesis describes current practice with regard to methods for assessing the effectiveness of membranes, criteria for use, installation practices, and factors that affect the performance of waterproofing systems in new construction and rehabilitation. Suggestions for future research are also included.

This book was released on 1975 with total page 37 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Waterproof membrane systems are being studied by many agencies from the standpoint of their effectiveness in protecting the reinforcing steel in concrete bridge decks against corrosion. Trial applications and evaluations of six such systems, including both preformed sheet and liquid membranes, were made in Virginia during the period from 1972 through 1974. These field evaluations included observations of the installation procedures and assessments of the subsequent waterproofing effectiveness of the systems through electrical resistivity measurements. While none of the systems could be considered an unqualified success, four of the systems showed promise, with modification of the application techniques used in the study, of providing the desired degree of long-term protection. Specific details of the application techniques and performances of each of the membrane systems are presented as is an evaluation of the effectiveness of earlier epoxy resin sealcoats.
