Waterproof Concrete Roofs and Floors

Waterproof roofs and floors have been built for more than four decades in the construction of buildings, industrial facilities etc. The rules of the Code of Practice for Waterproof Concrete Structures published by the German Committee for Reinforced Concrete (DAfStb e. V.) also apply to waterproof roofs but they do not include detailed provisions regarding roofs and floors. Beyond the design and construction principles of the code of practice this paper gives additional information about design principles, concrete technology, and construction work that should be considered to ensure the quality of a waterproof reinforced concrete roof.
