Most of the structures constructed under the ground are waterproofed to protect the structural damage caused by the penetration of the water into the structure. Further, water retaining structures are waterproofed most of the time.
There are different structural elements to be constructed below the groundwater table that need projections. In addition, the structural elements in contact with the water are needed to be protected.
Some of them are as follows.
- Pile caps
- Basement slabs
- Basement walls
- Raft foundations
- Toilet slabs
- Roof terraces
