Abstract
A revised oil leakage evaluation regime is proposed in response to the oil leakage problems of emulsion-based non-curable synthetic polymer rubberized gel (ENC-SPRG) used as a waterproofing material in concrete slabs of residential underground structures. Oil leakage from ENC-SPRG can cause significant economic and environmental damage. As ENC-SPRG waterproofing material is relatively new in the global waterproofing market, a systematic quality control for ENC-SPRG products being manufactured and exported globally is currently non-existent. For the selection of optimal ENC-SPRG, six assessment parameters comprised of averaged and daily average oil leakage mass, averaged and daily average filler content settlement, oil leakage area, and oil leakage duration are proposed. Five ENC-SPRG product specimens are tested to obtain the property values of each parameter. The property values derived from the test results are compared between the tested ENC-SPRG product specimens. With the demonstration of this evaluation regime, a quantified method for a comparative assessment of ENC-SPRG type waterproofing materials is established.
Highlights
Emulsion-based non-curable synthetic polymer rubberized gel (ENC-SPRG) type waterproofing materials are relatively new in the global waterproofing product market, but are gradually being used for new construction and leakage repair globally in the U.S, Canada, Singapore, China, Korea, etc., with different labels [1]
For a comparative evaluation of ENC-SPRG, a new test that must be taken into consideration for the decision of optimal ENC-SPRG waterproofing systems method that can conduct a complete oil leakage tendency observation
The coming sections outline a proposed leakage evaluation regime and the required parameters this parameter, the average mass and the average daily mass need to be recorded during the testing that must be taken into consideration for the decision of optimal ENC-SPRG waterproofing systems period to understand the potential effects on the environmental hazard, as well as the difficulty in that have “no leakage” or “the lowest oil leakage mass”
Summary
Emulsion-based non-curable synthetic polymer rubberized gel (ENC-SPRG) type waterproofing materials are relatively new in the global waterproofing product market, but are gradually being used for new construction and leakage repair globally in the U.S, Canada, Singapore, China, Korea, etc., with different labels (such as rubberized asphalt mastic, self-adhesive rubberized asphalt polymer, elastomeric asphalt polymer gel, etc.) [1]. These composite waterproofing layers provide viscoelastic property with high adhesion and high zero-span tensile strength against crack movement caused by thermal change and substrate variation [3] Due to these properties, ENC-SPRG application is rapidly expanding in the construction field. After application, there have been cases where oil components leak out through the cracks and joints of structures, and the necessity of improvement of the stability property of the ENC-SPRG materials is strongly required [3] The goal of this new evaluation method is to provide the means to secure a safer usage of ENC-SPRG waterproofing that secures long-term durability and oil leakage-free environment in concrete structures
