Abstract text:
Constructions need to be protected against moisture in the roof area to avoid the penetration of water in the internal areas and to protect the structural and non-structural components against possible damage. In time, people have looked for solutions to protect the structural components of buildings. Waterproofing solutions preserve the wholeness of the constructions, are useful to understand the nature of the forces acting upon constructions as well as their effect upon the buildings life cycle. Beginning with the years ’80-’90 , it become obviously necessary to rehabilitate significant surfaces from platform roofs, but unfortunately, in most cases, the rehabilitation works were limited to local repairs of the damaged areas, while still preserving the initial constructive system. In waterproofing works, provisions concerning the constructive structure of the component elements and waterproofing materials should be observed in order to reach performance requirements. Good waterproofing provides durability to building elements, blocks immediate and long term degradations that can be due to defects in design, erection or service.
