FLEXIBLE SHEETS FOR WATERPROOFING: Waterproofing of Concrete Bridge Decks and Other Concrete Surfaces Trafficable by Vehicles - Determination of Shear Strength
Also Known As:
The standard BS EN 13653:2017 is part of a series of standards pertaining to flexible sheets used for waterproofing concrete surfaces that are intended for vehicular traffic. This particular standard outlines a test method for assessing the shear strength characteristics of a waterproofing sheet system that has been applied to a concrete surface and subsequently covered with an asphalt layer.
The purpose of this standard is to establish a reliable and standardized approach to determining the shear strength properties of the waterproofing system used on concrete bridge decks and other concrete surfaces subjected to traffic loadings. By evaluating the shear strength, the performance and durability of the waterproofing sheet system can be assessed, which is crucial for ensuring the long-term integrity and effectiveness of the waterproofing solution.
This standard provides guidance on the test setup, sample preparation, and test procedure required to measure the shear strength properties of the waterproofing sheet system. It establishes the criteria for evaluating the test results and provides recommendations for reporting and interpreting the data obtained through the testing process.
