- Abstract
Synthetic Polymer Rubber Gels (SPRG) are used in Composite Modified Bituminous Waterproofing (CMBW) systems for waterproofing in concrete structures. A problem with the current design of SPRG is that when the emulsion breaks, the segregated oil layer can percolate through concrete cracks and cause oil leakage. This study proposes a new evaluation method which assesses the practical performance of SPRG products by testing their susceptibility to filler content settlement and oil leakage. Eight SPRG products used in Korea were used to demonstrate this evaluation method. Each product was installed in a concrete substrate specimen with an artificial crack made in the specimen’s bottom substrate. The specimens were observed for 28 days, and mass of leaked oil, total duration of leakage, average rate of sedimentation, and rheological threshold of initial leakage point were examined as part of the evaluation criteria.
