Selection of the Correct Waterstops — Sika® Waterbar Introduction Wiaterstops ar used forthe waterproof sealing of construction and ‘expansion joints against water penetration from percolating ground Water and water under hydrostatic pressure, as well as or surface / ‘end capping joints. Joint waterstops in combination with watertight concrete constuction techniques must ensure the watertghtness ofthe whole structure ‘There are standard international or national design standards and requirements which must aways be complied with and maintained. ‘The correct selection of the most suitable expansion and constue- tion joint waterstops is determined primarily by the anticipated water pressure, joint movement requirements and the exposure of the joint aterstop. ‘The maximum design water pressure resistance for each waterstop is ‘given in the folowing tables; these ae indicative figures based on our ‘experience and subject. tothe correct embedding of the waterstop into the conerete structure. The nominal width ofthe joints should normally 'be 20 mm to 30 mm, dependent onthe spect waterstop and profl tobe use.Waterstops for Expansion Joints Water sranue [Movant (0) [Beansen [shear intemal: ‘Sat Waterbar 020 . 5 w fs ‘Sia?
