Concrete Waterproofing with Crystalline Technology
Course credit 1 AIA LU/HSW
The use of chemical admixtures in the concrete mix can help change the nature of the concrete and overcome some of those limitations, particularly deterioration. In specific admixtures, the use of crystalline technology has been shown to be quite effective in terms of waterproofing the concrete and providing resistance to chemicals, extreme temperatures and other conditions. Engineers who recognize the causes of concrete deterioration along with the best options to overcome them can create resistive concrete components that are more durable and more sustainable in the long run.
