Topic 1: Waterproofing in Multi Story Construction
Overview: Structural concrete has strength, is a robust, durable, commonly designed and adopted building material. However, to survive long term, provide amenity and service to any occupied or functional structure, concrete must be designed, manufactured, and managed correctly. Concrete must also be protected or “Waterproofed”.
