The Little Book of Waterstop The ultimate engineering and contracting reference manual concerning waterstops — iPad Edition is FREE Concrete is everywhere: Buildings, fountains, parking decks, locks and dams, roads and bridges, and myriad other constructions. Because of its long lifespan, high workability, and near-worldwide availability, concrete is the preferred building material for large structures, especially those subject to hydraulic pressure. Not all concrete structures require protection from the ingress of water or other fluids, but those that do require a properly installed waterstop in and along their concrete joints. The concrete joint is the most likely point of leakage and waterstops are uniquely designed to prevent this. The sole purpose of this book is to educate the reader on all the construction and engineering facets of waterstops.
