32 Design and Water proofing issues

33 Design Considerations Structure Waterproofing Repair

34 WATERPROOFING DESIGN PRINCIPLES Decide on basement usage Gather site information Decide on form of construction Decide on form of waterproofing

35 Approved Document Fig 2A.1 Determining appropriate form of basement construction and waterproofing 9 Stages British Cement Association National House-Building Council The Building Regulations 1991 Basements for dwellings

36 Determining appropriate form of basement construction and waterproofing Proposed development Site survey Basement use Environmental requirements Geology Water table Topography Soil drainage Design considerations House type and Foundation design No Is Construction buildable? Yes SOLUTION Basement Construction Type A/B/C Selection of Waterproofing system

37 External drainage Geocomposite drainage sheet Ground level Basement structure Percolating ground water External or internal waterproofing as appropriate Perimeter drain (fin or land drain to discharge water to down side) If external drained used to control conditions >> Make rodable

38 General principles External or internal waterproofing as appropriate Basement structure Generally waterproofing to basement to be continuous Adequate details must be provided for junction, etc Details and construction should be as simple as possible

39 External or internal waterproofing as appropriate? Basement structure Continuity seems simple But essential to consider with structure

40 Waterproofing Details Assumed continuity!!??

41 Foundation details Type A structure - strip foundation External or internal waterproofing External or internal waterproofing Discontinuity between slab and wall Slab built-in

42 Foundation details Type A structure - piled foundation Internal waterproofing? Difficult to achieve external waterproofing

43 Interaction of water proofing with structure

44 Structural design - Waterproofing Ultimately won t fail but serviceability conditions may affect waterproofing Simple design of section

45 Design structure in three dimensions Cross section Bending moments in structure

46 Design structure in three dimensions Cross section Bending moments in structure Corner moments sometimes over looked Plan

47 Continuity of horizontal reinforcement in masonry walls (Figure 3A.3, AD Basements) British Cement Association National House-Building Council The Building Regulations 1991 Basements for dwellings Horizontal reinforcement = 0.5 A s along wall and around corners Plan view Main vertical reinforcement Similar detail provided for insitu walls (Fig 3B.2) Cross section

48 Insitu concrete options Ties required! Corbel details? Construction? Large section but easy to concrete Waterproofing details? Comment - Need to consider construction abilities/difficulties

49 Design in three dimensions - waterproofing Drawing is simple in two dimensions But structures are three dimensional!! Waterproofing membrane shown following thickened profile Cross section

50 Design in three dimensions - waterproofing Drawing is simple in two dimensions But structures are three dimensional!! Waterproofing membrane shown following thickened profile Cross section Membrane likely to require preformed sections to cater for mitre Comment: If not catered for can lead to construction defects Plan view at corner

51 Design in three dimensions - waterproofing Drawing is simple in two dimensions But structures are three dimensional!! Waterproofing membrane OK here Cross section Simpler square corner no mitre Comment: Design can help waterproofing Plan view at corner

52 Ensure compatibility between waterproofing and structure Stress and crack width controlled by reinforcement. Likely to be compatible with most waterproofing membranes In an unreinforced wall, crack width is uncontrolled. May exceed strain capacity of some waterproofing membranes. Reinforced wall Un-reinforced wall Comment: Structural behaviour can affect selection of waterproofing

53 Can basement be investigated and repaired? Example 1 May influence redesign and choice of waterproofing. Internal/External? Structure designed for water-resistance (Type B)
