    DIVISION 07: THERMAL AND MOISTURE


    PROTECTION
    WATER PROODING AND DAMP PROOFING
    WATER PROOFING CONCRETE
    various methods of waterproofing concrete:

    a. Impermeability through a Dense Concrete


    Accurate grading and proportioning of the concrete materials in
    order to secure a concrete so dense as to be waterproof.
    Portland cement mortar and concrete can be made practically
    waterproof or impermeable without the use of any integral
    waterproofing materials

    b. Waterproofing Coatings and Washes


    Applying waterproof coatings or washes to the concrete after it is
    on place.

    The materials employed as surface coatings may be classified as


    follows:
    ➢ Alum and soap mixtures applied in alternate mixtures (known as the
    Sylvester process), which penetrates the pores of
    the concrete forming insoluble compounds due to
    chemical action between the alum and soap
    solutions, and these compounds prevents
    percolation.

    - use in proportions of ¾ gal. of soap to 1 gal. of


    water, and 2oz. of alum to 1 gal. of water, both substances
    to be perfectly dissolved in water before using.
    - should be applied with a soft, flat brush (one for each solution),
    the soap boiling hot and the alum solution at 60 to 70F.

    ➢ Alum, lye and cement washes .


    ➢ Cement grout, with or without the addition of water-repellants.
    ➢ Paraffin and other mineral bases, applied cold in solution or
    prepared in melted.
    ➢ Miscellaneous materials of unknown composition sold under
    various trade names.

    ✓ Asphalt emulsions - Generally called Asphalt Base Clay


    Emulsions, minute asphalt particles dispersed in water and
    maintained in suspension (until applied) by a mineral colloid
    emulsifying agent. When the water vehicle evaporates,
    resilient reinforced weatherproof film remains which
    resist the passage of free water but allows movement of
    water vapor through the film and are classed as
    breathing films.
    ✓ Cutback Asphalts - composed of a variety of products
    from thin liquids to heavy paste, often one or more
    asphalts dissolved in solvent are filled with minerals
    and fibers to meet requirements of different coating
