Cementitious Waterproofing

Water infiltration can severely compromise the health and durability of concrete structures. Selecting the right waterproofing strategy is critical for withstanding environmental stressors and increasing the lifespan of the concrete. This course identifies traditional types of waterproofing materials and their applications. Innovative waterproofing solutions, such as crystalline topical coatings and admixtures, are examined in depth, including discussions of water penetration, system selection, and durability.

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

  • Explain how proper waterproofing systems can mitigate the negative effects of concrete deterioration caused by water penetration by improving structural integrity, thereby increasing occupant safety.
  • Identify waterproofing systems that are resistant to hydrostatic pressure and capillary action, and explain how these systems can improve occupant well-being by reducing leaks, damage to interior finishes, and the potential for mold growth.
  • Compare traditional waterproofing materials to crystalline topical coatings and admixtures and to polymer-modified flexible cementitious coatings in terms of applications, limitations, and uses.
  • Describe how a properly selected waterproofing system can decrease water infiltration and improve a structure’s lifespan and durability while also benefiting occupant safety.

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