Waterproofing of roofs
Roofing as an element of architecture and construction presents a challenging topic. This challenge, always present in the history of architecture, is now being met by dramatic new technological developments both in materials and systems. In the past decade these have made possible a revolution in …

Durability and waterproofing investigations of the building envelope
Durability of the building envelope is an important characteristic to monitor and test on a structure to ensure it does not fail prematurely from water penetration. Due to the building envelop failures existing today, the described testing herein aims to evaluate different building components in an …

Moisture Monitoring of a CLT Structure in a Southern Climate
… with higher average annual precipitation. Waterproofing efforts are usually employed to prevent the intrusion of moisture into wood products, regardless of their application. These efforts are seen in roofing materials and insulation, among others. In the case of Adohi Hall, several layers …

Integrity and effectiveness of standard preformed membranes placed on concrete bridge decks
Waterproofing membranes have been used on bridge decks for almost three decades in order to prevent chloride ingress into concrete. However, the performance of these membranes have yet to be adequately evaluated. Therefore, this research was carried out primarily to evaluate the integrity and …
