This book was released on 2018-03-04 with total page 94 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Waterproofing Materials for Masonry The initial effectiveness and durability characteristics of fifty-five clear masonry waterproofing materials were evaluated using laboratory tests. This report contains the results of initial performance tests including water absorption, water vapor transmis sion, resistance to efflorescence and change in appearance. Dura bility tests, including periodic measurement of water absorption after exposures to accelerated weathering and outdoor exposures, were also conducted. Based on test results, performance criteria for clear waterproofing materials were developed. In addition, recommendations for the application of waterproofing materials were formulated. Finally, the report contains a summary of a survey concerning field experiences with waterproofing and a brief theoret ical discussion of water flow.

This book was released on 2017-10-28 with total page 30 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Volume Changes in Brick Masonry Materials It is reasonable to assume that the tendency of a mortar to remain bonded under any and all conditions is greater, the smaller its volume changes, provided, of course, that the masonry unit to which it adheres undergoes little or no expansion or contraction. In other words, by reducing to the lowest possible minimum the differential volume changes in unit masonry the life of the bond should be increased. Increasing the life of the bond between mortar and units should help in part at least to reduce water penetration through the masonry.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Waterproofing Engineering for Engineers, Architects, Builders, Roofers and Waterproofers The art of waterproofing, while having passed its infancy, is not yet in its adult stage, of development. That it has developed from a crude understanding and practice is evident from the fact that the ancient Romans would waterproof their structures by building foundation walls so thick that water could not possibly percolate through them.

Download or read book Structural Waterproofing written by Truscon Laboratories and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-09-25 with total page 94 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Structural Waterproofing: A Waterproofing Handbook and Reference Guide for the Use of Architects, Engineers, Building Contractors and Others Interested in the General Subjects of Waterproofing and Dampproofing His is the era of concrete construction. For a number of years past the use of concrete as a building material has been grow ing by leaps and bounds. It is most natural that this should be the case. Concrete is the most ideal building material known. It is durable and fireproof. It provides rapidity in construction and economy in labor. It has, in fact, few limitations. Its natural absorbent property, however, had a tendency to limit its use in certain directions. There seemed to be no reason, though, why this difficulty could not be overcome and the use of concrete further extended, by eliminating this absorbent characteristic. It seemed logical that the intro duction of some element into the concrete during the process of mixing, would accomplish this purpose and add to the other splendid qualities of concrete, the highest degree of impermeability. As later events demonstrated, this proved true, and it is when in a waterproofed state that concrete finds its highest and most complete expression. Out _of this idea itself, however, together with its subsequent development, has grown the science of integral waterproofing. But because of the comparative newness of integral waterproofing as a science, there has been little organized literature or data on the subject. The architect and engineer, faced with a condition where waterproofing seemed necessary, or desiring to extend his use of concrete by some effective system of waterproofing, has found difficulty in knowing where to turn for instruction or suggestion. In other words, the science of waterproofing has lacked a handbook to which the builder could turn as a reference guide. This Architectural and Engineering Edition of Structural Waterproofing is an endeavor to supply this deficiency and to place at the disposal of the architect and engineer, a thoroughly organized and complete handbook upon the entire subject of integral waterproofing. The theory underlying waterproofing, the nature of waterproofing compounds, a discussion of their chemical and physical characteristics and their practical use in mass concrete, cement plaster coat and stucco, are all fully dealt with in the various chapters of this book. We hope very sincerely that Structural Waterproofing will fulfill a much needed require ment in supplying full information upon the subject, to all persons who may be interested.

Download or read book Twentieth Century Building Materials written by Thomas C. Jester and published by Getty Publications. This book was released on 2014-08-01 with total page 354 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Over the concluding decades of the twentieth century, the historic preservation community increasingly turned its attention to modern buildings, including bungalows from the 1930s, gas stations and diners from the 1940s, and office buildings and architectural homes from the 1950s. Conservation efforts, however, were often hampered by a lack of technical information about the products used in these structures, and to fill this gap Twentieth-Century Building Materials was developed by the U.S. Department of the Interior’s National Park Service and first published in 1995. Now, this invaluable guide is being reissued—with a new preface by the book’s original editor. With more than 250 illustrations, including a full-color photographic essay, the volume remains an indispensable reference on the history and conservation of modern building materials. Thirty-seven essays written by leading experts offer insights into the history, manufacturing processes, and uses of a wide range of materials, including glass block, aluminum, plywood, linoleum, and gypsum board. Readers will also learn about how these materials perform over time and discover valuable conservation and repair techniques. Bibliographies and sources for further research complete the volume. The book is intended for a wide range of conservation professionals including architects, engineers, conservators, and material scientists engaged in the conservation of modern buildings, as well as scholars in related disciplines.

Download or read book The Manual of Below Grade Waterproofing Systems written by Justin Henshell and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2000 with total page 310 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As the arsenal of weapons against leakage has grown, so has confusion among architects and engineers attempting to select the best below-grade waterproofing systems and materials. Manufacturers literature offers little assistance during the selection process, as well as being biased in favor of a particular product. The first guide devoted exclusively to the subject, The Manual of Below-Grade Waterproofing Systems picks up where manufacturers manuals leave off. Written by an architect with more than twenty years of experience designing habitable underground spaces, it provides frank, unbiased appraisals of various waterproofing materials and systems. This manual presents architects and engineers with expert guidance on selecting, designing with, and specifying waterproofing materials and systems. Justin Henshell walks you step by step through the entire waterproofing process from determining waterproofing needs to selecting and specifying waterproofing systems to preparing detailed drawings for construction documents. And throughout, he offers architectural details which illustrate general design principles, as well as high-quality photographs of waterproofing failures that help you to more clearly comprehend common design errors and problems associated with various waterproofing materials. The Manual of Below-Grade Waterproofing Systems is an indispensable working resource for architects, civil engineers, contractors, specifiers, materials manufacturers, landscape architects, and all other professionals involved with the design and construction of habitable underground spaces.
