Abstract

ASTM 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.
