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

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

  • Outline the water-related design challenges applicable to concrete structures, including capillary absorption, durability and maintenance, aesthetics, leaks, environmental considerations, and compatibility and adhesion.
  • Describe two classes of integral waterproofing products, explaining how they function to seal cracks and protect rebar from corrosion, ensuring occupants have a structurally sound and leak-free, mold-free building.
  • 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 of failure, and save money and time.

Approximately 1 hour. Delivered online, at your own pace.
