The Waterproofing of Structures (Classic Reprint): With Special Reference to Sublevel Construction, the Envelope Method and the Application of ... Application of "tunaloid" (Classic Reprint) - Softcover

Inhaltsangabe

Protect structures from water with a proven envelope method and durable Tunaloid materials.

This book explains how to shield basements, foundations, bridges, tunnels, and other concrete constructions from moisture using the envelope or shield approach. It covers the real-world use of Tunaloid Waterproof Felt, Tunaloid Compound, and Tunaloid Damp-Proof Paint, showing how each fits into a complete waterproofing system. Readers will see why proper application, careful joint work, and thorough curing are essential for lasting protection.

The text emphasizes practical considerations, including the importance of avoiding punctures, ensuring complete adhesion between layers, and choosing the right coating for interior or exterior surfaces. It also discusses how waterproofing fits with drainage, temperature changes, and the presence of moist soil around sublevel work.

• How the envelope method surrounds a concrete or masonry structure for reliable water resistance


• The roles of Tunaloid Waterproof Felt, its single-sided coating advantage, and how to apply it


• When to use Damp-Proof Paint versus felt for different depths and moisture levels


• Practical steps to prepare surfaces, joints, and openings for a durable seal

Ideal for engineers, builders, and project managers seeking a grounded, hands-on approach to moisture control in sublevel construction.
