Ebook: Corrosion control in underground concrete structures using double waterproofingshield system

Статья опубликована в Construction and Building Materials 2012 №36
High level of structural and waterproofing stability leads to long-term service life in underground infrastructures.
Interaction between aggressive groundwater with tunnel causes corrosion and damage in
concrete structure due to steel reinforcement corrosion and concrete cracks. This study introduces a double waterproofing shield system as an innovative solution to waterproofing and structural failures
in underground concrete structures. In this method, ordinary shotcrete mixture replaces by an organic
polymer concrete to construct a water-resistant temporary support right after each partial excavation.
