Significance and Use4.1 This practice provides a guide for factors to be consid-ered prior to waterproofing bridge decks with water barriermembrane systems. It will provide guidance for sp
7、ecificationof materials, application of membrane systems, and placementof bituminous wearing courses. It may be used as a guide fornew construction or for rehabilitation of existing structures.5. Bridge Design and Specification Consideration5.1 Proper use of water barrier membranes with bituminousco
8、ncrete wearing courses requires consideration of certainelements during the design stage of new or existing bridges tobe treated and covered with a bituminous concrete wearingcourse.5.2 New bridge deck designs must include provision fordead loads including future systems.5.3 The deck surface finish
9、should be specified to allowproper use of the intended membrane system. Manufacturersrecommendations for surface finish should be reviewed forguidance on finishing freshly placed concrete or for repair ofexisting deck surfaces.5.4 Surface drains should be designed to allow positivedrainage to minimi
10、ze the penetration of water through thebituminous wearing course.5.5 Joint systems should be designed to provide adequatetermination points for the membrane. Membranes should notbe placed over expansion joints. Dams or expansion assembliesshould be provided to the height of the bituminous wearingcou
11、rse.5.6 Curbs or parapets, or both, should be designed forfunctional terminations. Manufacturers of membrane systemsshould be consulted for recommended termination details. Ifrough surfaces (such as granite curbs) are specified, a treatmentshould be specified to provide the surface smoothness requir
12、edfor the proper use of the membrane. Treatment of rough curbsmay be achieved with a leveling surface treatment with epoxymortar or other suitable materials.5.7 Decks should include weepholes to provide drainage forwater which penetrates through the bituminous wearing courseto the membrane level.5.8
13、 For bridges with significant grades (usually over 4 %) orthose which are subject to traffic acceleration, deceleration, orradial stresses (such as on ramps), the use of membranesystems may cause overlay movement. Membrane manufac-turers should be consulted for limitations on membrane use.1This prac

17、ed materials should be chemically and physi-cally compatible with specific emphasis on proper adhesion ofthe membrane and the bituminous wearing course.6. Bridge Construction6.1 A preconstruction conference should be held to assurethat the contractor is aware of all construction requirementswhich af
18、fect the membrane system.6.2 Inspectors should ensure that surface finish of theconcrete deck is acceptable for the use of the intendedmembrane system, usually an even float finish.6.3 Concrete decks or other components should be curedand dried for the required minimum time before installation ofthe
19、 membrane. Limitations on curing methods or curingmaterials should be observed. In most cases, the use ofmembrane curing compounds containing wax or oil should beprohibited.6.4 Care should be exercised to avoid the use of materialswhich are chemically or physically incompatible with themembrane syst
20、em to be used.7. Membrane Application7.1 Apreconstruction conference should be held to schedulemembrane application and placement of the bituminous wear-ing course.7.2 Prior to application, the bridge deck should be in-spected, deficiencies noted, and repairs made.7.3 Cleaning should be done prior t
21、o application of any ofthe membrane system components. Grease and oil should beremoved.7.4 Membranes and bituminous concrete overlays should beapplied only during dry weather and within the acceptabletemperature range.7.5 Manufacturers specifications or technical representa-tives should be consulted
22、 to ensure that proper methodsrecommended by the manufacturer are used.7.6 Termination details should be thoroughly inspected toensure that they are watertight.7.7 The membrane should be placed in such a manner thatoverlaps in preformed or built-up systems will not trap water orinterfere with placem
23、ent of the bituminous wearing course.7.8 Placement and subsequent treatment such as rollingshould be inspected to assure that bubbles or blisters resultingfrom deck moisture outgassing are minimized. Large bubblesor blisters should be punctured or repaired, or both, asspecified.Abituminous mix with
24、sand or fine aggregate may beused as an underlayment for membranes to minimize bubblingor blistering.7.9 Membrane terminations at drains, joints, and curbsshould be properly sealed to prevent water entry at thesecritical areas.7.10 The completed membrane system application shouldbe inspected and rep
25、airs made in accordance with specifica-tions.7.11 Membrane systems should be protected in accordancewith specifications.7.12 Traffic should not be allowed on the unprotectedmembrane system except as required for placement of thebituminous wearing course.8. Bituminous Wearing Course8.1 The bituminous
26、 wearing course should be designed toprovide a completely bonded system and to provide therequired service life. Chemical and physical compatibility ofall components including tack coats, (if required) should bedetermined.8.2 The bituminous wearing course thickness, aggregatesize and gradation, asph
27、alt type and quantity, should bedetermined by the service life requirements. It should conformto minimum thickness requirements recommended by themembrane manufacturer.8.3 Placement of the bituminous wearing course should becompleted within the time period specified. Generally, mem-branes should be
28、exposed for the shortest possible time. Someliquid applied systems may require a minimum time for curingof the membrane.8.4 Weather limitations, dry surfaces, and ambient tempera-ture requirements should be observed.8.5 The bituminous wearing course should be placed at atemperature range specified f
29、or the membrane system beingused.8.6 The type of bituminous placing equipment should bechosen in accordance with specifications or membrane manu-facturers recommendations, or both, to prevent physical dam-age to the membrane.8.7 The bituminous wearing course should be placed in adirection to avoid d
30、amage to the membrane.8.8 Special requirements concerning compaction equipmentor methods should be observed.9. Rehabilitation of Existing Structures9.1 In addition to the considerations contained in Sections 5through 8, the use of membrane systems and bituminouswearing courses on existing bridge dec
31、ks require additionalconsiderations.9.1.1 Experience has shown that placement of a membranesystem on an actively corroding, chloride-contaminated bridgedeck will not stop corrosion. Its effect on the rate of corrosionis not yet known. NCHRP Synthesis Report 57 should beconsulted for additional guida
32、nce on this matter.9.1.2 The structural capability of the bridge must be deter-mined for the added dead load of the membrane system andbituminous wearing course.9.1.3 Requirements for surface and membrane level drain-age should be considered. Existing drains should be raised andmembrane level weepho
33、les should be provided if drainage willbe impeded at the membrane level.9.1.4 Expansion joints should be replaced or raised to allowfor the elevation change of the bituminous wearing course.9.1.5 Curbs or parapets should be examined to assure thatsatisfactory membrane system terminations can be made
34、.9.1.6 Deck and curb surfaces must be repaired to provide asound substrate and a proper surface for the use of membranesystems. Repair materials specified should be chemicallyD 4071 84 (2005)2compatible with the membrane. Adequate curing time shouldbe allowed for repair materials before application
35、of themembrane system.9.1.7 Cleaning should be clearly specified, particularly withregard to removal of grease or oil from existing deck surfaces.9.1.8 Traffic control methods should be considered. If workis required under traffic conditions, membrane and bituminouswearing course placement must be s
36、cheduled to allow foroverlapping membrane when traffic is rerouted from one laneto another.10. Safety10.1 Procedures for safe handling of all components ofmembrane systems should be determined and observed. Manu-facturers recommendations should be followed.10.2 Questions regarding toxicity should be
37、 considered andproper safeguards should be employed.10.3 Traffic control should be sufficient to prevent trafficaccidents or unusual safety hazards to working personnel.11.
