ASTM C981

Significance and Use

4.1 This guide provides information and guidelines for the selection of components and the design of a built-up bituminous membrane waterproofing system in building deck construction. Where the state of the art is such that criteria for particular conditions are not established or have numerous variables that require consideration, applicable portions of Design Considerations, Sections 5-16, serve as reference and guidance for selection by the designer of the system.

1. Scope

1.1 This guide describes the design of fully adhered built-up bituminous membrane waterproofing systems for plaza deck and promenade construction over occupied spaces of buildings where covered by a separate wearing course.

1.2 The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as the standard. The values given in parentheses are for information only.

1.3 The committee with jurisdiction over this standard is not aware of any comparable standards published by other organizations.

1.4 This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety and health practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.
