Waterproofing Performance Evaluation and Grading Methods for Lowest Level Floor Slabs and Positive-Side Walls of Residential Underground Structures
In Korea, large-scale apartment projects often give rise to disputes among residents, which have prompted implementation of the “Apartment Performance Rating System” by the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, and Transport. In addition, disputes related to leakage defects in apartment structures are increasing, especially in underground spaces of joint residential complexes. This study aims to identify waterproofing materials and methods for specific underground structure components through experimental evaluations and to assign waterproofing performance ratings similar to existing apartment house grades. These performance ratings will serve as foundational data to prevent leakage in joint residential complexes. This study proposes composite and self-adhesive sheet waterproofing as effective methods, emphasizing the significance of sheet waterproofing materials for excellent performance. The need for improved waterproofing materials to address long-term permeability issues is also highlighted. This research provides essential data for future waterproofing performance ratings; therefore, contributing to construction quality and safety in joint residential complexes.
