if it rains or if is flooded

Thus....:
1 - the extruded waterstop immediatly hydrates and increases its volume prematurely;
thereby it doesn't realize a waterproofing barrier.
2 - Waterstop cannot be replaced.
3 - During the concrete pour, the concrete push forward the expanded bentonite that soils and muddies the concrete
reinforcement, causing adhesion problems which determine the irons being uncoupled from the concrete, exatly in the
zone, where the iron/concrete matrix must be maximum .
This phenomenon is known as reduction or zero setting iron/concrete matrix.

rubber based waterstop
R. The most important waterstop Producers' warnings and
recommendations in order to install the bentonite extruded
waterstop are :
- It must be settled with GLUING.
- An adhesive to install it to the concrete.... is necessary.
- It should not be secured (fixed ) with mechanical nails alone:
nails may be used in conjunction with glue .
- Whenever possible do not pour concrete directly on waterstop or allow vibrator to come
in direct contact with waterstop.
- do not install when work areas are flooded ; bentonite extruded waterstop must to be protected against anticipate
rains (before the concrete pour).
- Replace bentonite extruded waterstop if premature expansion happens.. .
?
R. if waterstop is not firmly fixed to the concrete
surface where it was installed, the concrete grout, goes
under the waterstop.
It is surrounded by concrete,
thereby waterstop becomes similar
as an
reinforcement bar.in this event,
the bentonite/butyl rubber based waterstop
is a non-existent sealant waterstop.
