What is BS EN 14692 - Resistance of a waterproofing sheet to the compaction of an asphalt layer about?
BS EN 14692 is a European standard on flexible sheets for waterproofing of concrete bridge decks and other concrete surfaces trafficable by vehicles.
BS EN 14692 specifies a test method for the evaluation of the resistance of a waterproofing sheet to the compaction of an asphalt layer.
Who is BS EN 14692 - Resistance of a waterproofing sheet to the compaction of an asphalt layer for?
BS EN 14692 on flexible sheets for waterproofing is useful for:
- Manufacturers and suppliers of sheet and waterproofing materials
- Concrete manufacturers
- Manufacturers of asphalt products
- Manufacturers of building binders and sealing materials
Why should you use BS EN 14692 - Resistance of a waterproofing sheet to the compaction of an asphalt layer?
Compaction is the process of densifying or reducing the volume and mass of material.
BS EN 14692 navigates you through the test methods of compacting a defined asphalt layer on a waterproofing sheet. The two alternative methods are:
- Method 1: The asphalt layer is laid directly on the sheet bonded to the base specimen
- Method 2: A de-bonding interface is laid between the base specimen and the sheet and between the sheet and the asphalt layer.
BS EN 14692 provides the requirements on apparatus and materials used for testing the compaction of an asphalt layer.
Preparation of test specimens and test procedure is described in BS EN 14692 to test the resistance to compaction property of waterproofing sheets.
BS EN 14692 specifies the expression of results of the test performed to verify the resistance to compaction of an asphalt layer for each test specimen as well as the test report on information about sampling, preparation, drying and conditioning of test specimens.
Moreover, BS EN 14692 provides guidance for effective waterproofing design in order to prevent water from penetrating or escaping from various areas of the building structure to achieve stability and provide resistance to deformation while simultaneously reducing the permeability of the mixture and improving its durability.
This way, you can acquire effective waterproofing systems that completely enclose all regions subjected to hydrostatic pressure and chemical contaminants.
