This guide provides design considerations for the design of the waterproofing system as well as guide specifications. The intent of Sections 6-15 is to provide information and guidelines for consideration of the designer of the waterproofing system. The intent of the remaining sections is to provide minimum guide specifications for the use of the purchaser and the seller in contract documents. Where the state of the art is such that criteria for a particular condition is not as yet firmly established or has numerous variables that require consideration, reference is made to the applicable portion of Sections 6-15 that covers the particular area of concern.

1.1 This guide describes the use of a high solids content, cold liquid-applied elastomeric waterproofing membrane that meets the criteria in Specification C 836, in a waterproofing system subject to hydrostatic pressure for building decks over occupied space where the membrane is covered with a separate protective wearing course.

1.2 The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as the standard. The values given in parentheses are for information only.

1.3 This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety and health practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.
