Description

This guideline is intended to provide information for the selection and application of materials for fluid-applied waterproofing systems to concrete for horizontal pedestrian and vehicular traffic surfaces.

Concrete is subject to deterioration by a variety of mechanisms. Properly selected and applied traffic membrane systems can protect concrete from deterioration caused by abrasion, moisture intrusion, environmental forces (freezing-and-thawing cycling), and chemical attack. This guideline provides information on the common service conditions, basic review of the properties of concrete, surface preparation, system designs, and materials used for traffic membranes.
