This guide outlines general procedures and precautions for the application of fully adhered hot-applied built-up reinforced waterproofing systems.

This guide is not all inclusive and is intended only to supplement detailed instructions from designers, and the recommendations of manufacturers. Manufacturers of some of the systems addressed by this guide require proprietary products and special procedures not described in this guide. Manufacturers' recommendations should therefore be considered in the application of this guide.

For design guidelines, consult Guide C 981.

1. Scope

1.1 This guide covers the minimum installation recommendations for fully adhered, hot-applied reinforced waterproofing systems on vertical and low-slope (plaza deck) surfaces.

1.2 For the purpose of this guide, the substrate is assumed to be concrete or masonry, structurally sound, able to accept the weight of anticipated loads, and meets the local building code requirements. Similarly, all components of the waterproofing system are assumed to comply with any federal, state, and local environmental regulations that may be in effect at the time of installation. Expansion joints, insulation, drainage layers, and overburden are beyond the scope of this guide.

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

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 requirements prior to use.

2. Referenced Documents (purchase separately) The documents listed below are referenced within the subject standard but are not provided as part of the standard.
