Sustainable Waterproofing Solutions

This course is no longer active. AEC Daily will not report completion information for this course.

Concrete is a very versatile and fundamental building material; however, because it is porous and wicks water through its matrix, concrete has water-related challenges. This program examines the sustainable benefits of integral concrete waterproofing and analyzes traditional waterproofing methods as compared to integral methods in terms of durability, risk, cost, and construction timeline.

Upon completion of this course, the Learner should be able to:

  • Outline the water-related challenges and consequences of building with concrete.
  • Describe the two classes of integral waterproofing products in terms of characteristics and performance.
  • Compare and contrast waterproofing systems in terms of durability, risk, cost, and construction timeline and how these directly relate to the overall environmental impact of each system.
  • Discuss applications where hydrophobic admixtures can maximize concrete durability, reduce risk, and save money and time.
