SECTION 808 WATERPROOFING MATERIALS
808.01 DESCRIPTION. This section covers materials for use in waterproofing. The
Department may approve other types of waterproofing materials provided they conform to the requirements of the type Contract specifies.
808.02 SAMPLING. The Department will sample all materials according to the
Materials Field Sampling and Testing Manual from the Department’s Division of Materials.
808.03 ASPHALT MOP COAT. Furnish material that conforms to ASTM D 449, as
specified in the Asphalt Mop Coat Requirements and Price Adjustment Schedule. Use Type I, II, or III material as the Contract specifies.
808.04 ASPHALT WATERPROOFING PRIMER. Furnish material that conforms to
ASTM D 41 and ensure the supplier provides certification of conformance.
808.05 Waterproofing Membranes.
808.05.01 Waterproofing Membranes for Bridge Decks .
A.Fiberglass Waterproofing Membrane. Furnish a fiberglass waterproofing membrane that is a one-step waterproofing and reflective-crack suppression system for bridge decks. The one-step system is comprised of a high strength, fiberglass- reinforced, factory coating with an asphalt polymer and a strongly bonding contact adhesive on one side that bonds to the surface being treated. Ensure the supplier provides certification that the fiberglass waterproofing membrane conforms to the following table: FIBERGLASS WATERPROOFING MEMBRANE REQUIREMENTS Property Test Method Specification Tensile Strength,lb f/in (longitudinal and transverse) ASTM D 4632 44 min. Pliability @ -25 ˚F, 1” mandrel ASTM D 146 Pass Moisture, % ASTM D 146 1 max. Permeability, perms ASTM E 96 (B) 0.5 max.
B.Polypropylene Waterproofing Membrane . Furnish a polypropylene waterproofing membrane that is a one-step waterproofing and reflective-crack suppression system for bridge decks. The system is comprised of a polypropylene non-woven fabric with a top-coating of asphalt and a rubberized asphalt adhesive on the bottom to bond with the surface being treated. Ensure the supplier provides certification that the membrane conforms to ASTM D 6153, Type III and the following table: 808-1 POLYPROPYLENE WATERPR OOFING MEMBRANE REQUIREMENTS Property Test Method Specification Grab Tensile Strength, lb (1) ASTM D 4632 50 min. Elongation, % ASTM D 4632 20 min. Pliability, -25 ˚F (2) ASTM D 146 Pass Puncture Resistance, lb. ASTM E 154 200 min. Permeability, perms ASTM E 96 (B) 0.05 max.
1.One inch distance between grips and 12 in/min test speed.
2.180 degree bend on ¼ inch mandrel.
808.05.02 Layered, Fiber-Reinforced Waterproofing Membrane for
Concrete Joints and Precast Items. Furnish a plastic film and mesh- reinforced mastic polyethylene membrane for sealing open expansion joints, concrete expansion joints, cracked culv erts, or for waterproofing in backfill situations. Ensure the supplier provides certification that this material conforms to ASTM C 877, Type II, excluding the steel straps.
808.08 FIELD TOLERANCES. The Department, according to established criteria, will
allow tolerance limits to be applied to field samples. These limits are incorporated into the price adjustment schedules. These tolerances are for field samples only.
808.09 ACCEPTANCE. The Department will normally perform field quality acceptance
testing on samples obtained at the project site of Contractor’s storage facility. When required by the Department, the supplier shall send, at his expense, representative samples of materials stored at the source to the Department’s Division of Materials. When the Department accepts materials by pretesting and certification, provide two copies of the bill-of-lading/load ticket with each delivered unit. The bill-of-lading/load ticket, at a minimum, will contain the material’s lot number and a statement of the quantity of materials within each load. In addition, materials pretested by the Department will include the assigned SiteManager identification number in the shipment documentation. The Contractor and Department’s representative will each receive copies at the point of delivery. Do not use materials that are not properly covered by certification or otherwise tested and approved by the Department. When materials not appropriately certified or not conforming to the applicable requirements when tested become incorporated into projects, the Engineer will, according to Section 105, evaluate the work affected and require adjustment of pay quantities of corrective work as deemed appropriate.
808.10 Acceptance of Non-Sp Ecification Waterproofing
MATERIALS. Furnish waterproofing materials purchased for Department work conforming to the requirements of this section. The Department will apply the following procedures only when reasonably acceptable work has been produced using the material in question, as provided in Subsection 105.04. When the use of non-specification material results in an inferior or unsatisfactory product, remove and replace the material at no expense to the Department, or at the Vendor’s expense when materials are purchased directly by the Cabinet. The Department may accept, at a reduced Contract price, waterproofing materials not appropriately certified, or not conforming to the applicable requirements when check-tested, after an evaluation of the work. However, the Department will not consider these procedures as a means to continue accepting non-specification material. The Department will determine the price adjustment based on the delivered cost of the material. 808-2 When the material is not appropriately certified, the Department may deduct the full cost of the material. When the material fails to conform to the applicable requirements, the Department will normally make deductions according to the pay schedules included in this section. As provided in Section 808.07, the Department has established field tolerances for determining the acceptability of failing material at no price deduction. The Department will determine the frequency of check-sampling and testing on pretested material. The Department will make deductions for failing test results based on the average of 2 check samples representing the material in question. When a sample fails on two or more tests, the Department may add the deductions, but the total deduction will not exceed 100 percent.
808.11 TIME LIMITATION ON APPROVALS. The Department will test materials
in storage at the Contractor’s site as deemed necessary. Additionally, the Department will require the retesting, and re-approval, of materials not incorporated into the work according to the time limitations specified in the Materials Field Sampling and Testing Manual from the Department’s Division of Materials. 808-3 ASPHALT MOP COAT REQUIREMENTS AND PRICE ADJUSTMENT SCHEDULE Property Specification 100%Pay 90 %Pay 80 %Pay 70 %Pay 50%Pay(1) Type I Softening Point, °F 113-114 111-112 109-110 107-108 ≤ 106 115-140 141-142 143-144 145-146 147-148 ≥ 149 Penetration 32 °F 5 min. 5 4 3 2 ≤ 1 77 °F 48-49 46-47 44-45 42-43 ≤ 41 50-100 101-102 103-104 105-106 107-108 ≥109 115 °F 100 min. 98-99 96-97 94-95 92-93 ≤ 91 Flash Point, °F 450 min. 448-449 446-447 444-445 442-443 ≤ 441 Ductility, cm 30 min. 29 27-28 25- 26 23-24 ≤ 22 Solubility, % 99 min. 98 96-97 94- 95 92-93 ≤ 91 Type II Softening Point, °F 143-144 141-142 139-140 137-138 ≤ 136 145-170 171-172 173-174 175-176 177-178 ≥ 179 Penetration 32 °F 10 min. 9 8 7 6 ≤ 5 77 °F 24 23 22 21 ≤ 20 25-50 51 52 53 54 ≥ 55 115 °F 130 max. 131 132 133 134 ≥ 135 Flash Point, °F 450 min 448-449 446-447 444-445 442-443 ≤ 441 Ductility, cm 10 min. 9 8 7 6 ≤ 5 Solubility, % 99 min. 98 96-97 94- 95 92-93 ≤ 91 Type III Softening Point, °F 178-179 176-177 174-175 172-173 ≤ 171 180-200 201-202 203-204 205-206 207-208 ≥ 209 Penetration 32 °F 10 min. 9 8 7 6 ≤ 5 77 °F 19 18 17 16 ≤ 15 20-40 41 42 43 44 ≥ 45 115 °F 100 max. 101 102 103 104 ≥ 105 Flash Point, °F 475 min. 473-474 471-472 469-470 467-468 ≤ 466 Ductility, cm 2 min. 2 1 0 Solubility, % 99 min. 98 96-97 94- 95 92-93 ≤ 91
