This paper does not address waterproofing that is intended to be exposed to traffic, such as the materials described in the following standard.
• ASTM Specification for High-Solids Content, Cold Liquid-Applied Elastomeric Waterproofing Membrane with Integral Wearing Surface (ASTM C957)
Additionally, several important types of waterproofing are not included in this review because of the lack of a material specification that covers the completed membrane as a waterproofing material. For example, there are material specifications for waterproofing asphalt and ply materials used in making a built-up bituminous waterproofing membrane—but none for the completed built-up membrane.
The installation of some of the materials we have omitted from this paper is described in the following standards.
• ASTM Guide for Design of Built-Up Bituminous Membrane Waterproofing Systems for Building Decks (ASTM C 981)
• ASTM Guide for Standard Details for Adhered Sheet Waterproofing (ASTM D 5898)
• ASTM Practice for Application of Self-Adhering Modified Bituminous Waterproofing (ASTM D 6135)
• ASTM Guide for Application of Fully Adhered Hot-Applied Reinforced Waterproofing Systems (ASTM D 6622)
• ASTM Guide for Application of Fully Adhered, Cold-Applied, Prefabricated Reinforced Modified Bituminous Membrane Waterproofing Systems (ASTM D 6769)
• ASTM Practice for Application of Heat Weldable Atactic Polypropylene (APP) Modified Bituminous Waterproofing Membranes Systems for New Building Decks (ASTM D 6950)
