Flexible Sheets for Waterproofing - Waterproofing of Concrete Bridge Decks and Other Concrete Surfaces Trafficable by Vehicles - Determination of Water Absorption
Also Known As:
The DIN EN 14223 standard focuses on the determination of water absorption in flexible sheets used for waterproofing concrete bridge decks and other concrete surfaces that are trafficked by vehicles. The standard provides a test method specifically designed for reinforced bitumen sheets, as it is the ability of the reinforcement to absorb water that is of primary concern in this test.
The purpose of this test is to evaluate the influence of water absorption on the functional behavior of the waterproofing sheets. By determining the water absorption capacity of the sheets, their performance and durability can be assessed. This is particularly important for concrete surfaces that are exposed to vehicular traffic, as the sheets need to effectively prevent water infiltration and protect the underlying structure.
Compliance with this standard ensures that the flexible sheets used for waterproofing in such applications meet the required standards for water absorption. This helps ensure the long-term performance and effectiveness of the waterproofing system, minimizing the risk of water damage to the concrete bridge decks and other concrete surfaces subject to vehicular traffic.
