What might cause the waterstop to leak?

 There are many times when Chengdu waterstop is used in life and construction projects. We can understand its basic function - waterstop through the name. Due to the use environment of the waterstop, the substances are different. There may be water leakage during use. What is the reason? We together look.

The selection of the Minka waterstop should be determined comprehensively according to the importance level of the structure, the deformation amount of the deformation joint and the water pressure, the application (application) of the waterstop, the working environment, economic factors and other conditions. What are the reasons for the water stop leaking?

1. Improper material is easy to damage

The material of the existing back-mounted waterstop is soft and hard. The "claw edge" of the back-mounted waterstop processed with the former is thin and soft, and the "claw edge" is easily overwhelmed by the coarse aggregate when the lining concrete is poured, causing it to lose or reduce the water blocking efficiency; For stick-type waterstops, long gauges are easily damaged during storage and transportation, while short gauges need to be spliced ​​during construction. Waterstop damage and splicing are hidden dangers of water leakage in construction joints.

2. Only plug the water without draining the water

All groundwater that may leak through the construction joints has passed through the waterproof layer. If this part of groundwater is provided with a downward drainage channel, the chance of its leakage along the construction joints will be reduced. In fact, for the construction joint waterproofed by the middle-buried waterstop, the gap between the waterstop and the waterproof layer has some water seepage and drainage capacity, which will help the waterproofing of the construction joint.



The existing back-stick waterstop is only blocking but not draining in terms of design guidelines. The seepage water passing through the waterproof layer will hold pressure around the back-mounted waterstop and wait for seepage. If the back-mounted waterstop itself has defects or construction quality problems, water leakage in the construction joints is inevitable.

3. The waterstop on the top of the cave is not dense

The existing back-mounted waterstop relies on the claw edge to be implanted into the concrete to prolong the water seepage process and increase the water seepage resistance to waterproof. At the top of the tunnel, it is difficult to pour and vibrate the lining concrete, and the corners and claw edges are not easy to be filled with concrete; when the initial support profile of the tunnel is not regular and the top of the hole is over-excavated, the back-mounted waterstop Accurate placement and dense filling at the top of the cave are even less guaranteed.

Only by taking effective technical measures, that is, the back-mounted waterstop can be applied to the waterproofing of the construction joints at the top of the tunnel.

The random joints of waterstops appear on the construction joints in the following situations: First, for the convenience of construction, when pouring the lining foundation, the waterstops of about half the length of the construction joints are pre-buried at the construction joints on both sides of the tunnel. The waterstops on both sides are overlapped at the top of the tunnel; the second is that the initial support profile of the tunnel becomes larger, and the length of a single waterstop provided according to the normal specifications cannot meet the length requirements of the variable-length construction joint, so the waterstop has to be carried out during the construction. take longer.

Save the cost of construction joint waterproofing materials, and use several short sections of waterstop to connect the length to complete the waterstop of a construction joint. Undoubtedly, the joint of the waterstop is a hidden danger of water leakage in the tunnel construction joints.

4, the shape is not reasonable enough

The unreasonable shape is manifested in two aspects: one is that the depth of the effective water-stop edge is insufficient, and the coarse aggregate at the corner is difficult to enter, and the corner is not easy to be compacted; There is material consumption without a significant increase in seepage (resistance) along the way.

How UHMWPE Sheets Revolutionize Industrial Applications

图片
  Ultra-High Molecular Weight Polyethylene (UHMWPE) sheets are increasingly becoming a cornerstone in various industrial applications due to their exceptional properties. This material, renowned for its superior strength, durability, and versatility, has revolutionized numerous sectors, from manufacturing to medical fields. This article delves into how UHMWPE sheets are transforming industries and why they are favored over traditional materials.   1. Understanding UHMWPE Sheets UHMWPE is a subset of the thermoplastic polyethylene, characterized by its extremely long molecular chains. These chains, with molecular weights in the range of 3 to 6 million amu, contribute to its outstanding physical properties. UHMWPE sheets exhibit high impact resistance, low friction, and excellent chemical resistance, making them ideal for demanding environments.   2. Enhanced Durability and Wear Resistance One of the standout features of UHMWPE sheets is their unparalleled wear resistance. Industries tha

  To determine which camping chair is best for you, you will have to sift through material types, portability, price and many more. Therefore, we have put together a handy camping chair guide to make the choice a little easier. We go over the portability, weight capacity, materials and price of   camping chairs   to help you decide. HERE'S WHAT YOU SHOULD LOOK FOR WHEN YOU'RE BUYING A NEW CAMPING CHAIR.   1. Materials   First, let's take a look at the materials used in making one camping chair. There is a vast variety of camping chair materials that you can choose from when shopping for a camping chair. But, most current models have aluminum legs and body frame. This is because aluminum has a high strength-to-weight ratio. Plus, aluminum is corrosion resistant so it prevents rust.   As for the seats and armrests, a coated rip-stop nylon fabric is used because of its durability and water resistance capabilities. But some brands use closed-cell foam padding instead for extra

Is Sublimation Paper the Same as Heat Transfer Paper?

图片
In the realm of garment printing and crafting, confusion often arises between sublimation paper and   heat transfer paper . While both are vital tools in the process of transferring designs onto various surfaces, they serve distinct purposes and possess unique characteristics. Understanding the disparities between these two types of paper is crucial for achieving optimal results in your printing endeavors. Sublimation Paper: Unveiling its Essence Sublimation paper  is a specialized medium used primarily in sublimation printing—a technique that involves transferring dye onto materials such as fabrics, ceramics, and metals through a process of sublimation. Sublimation occurs when a solid substance transitions directly into a gas without passing through the liquid phase. In sublimation printing, heat and pressure are applied to sublimation paper, causing the solid dye particles to sublimate and bond with the surface of the substrate. The key characteristic of sublimation paper is its uniq
