Function waterstop in concrete connections

In the execution of construction works of reinforced concrete, especially the joint areas often we temuai the installation of a water stop, its existence including important though classified as a job that does not look so sometimes forgotten or deliberately forgotten for not installed, until eventually timbulah problem of leakage or seepage of water in the concrete, especially in parts which are associated with water such as underground basement floor area, STP, elevator core, retaining wall, and the like. to determine the function of a water stop on the concrete connection we can see from its name, namely Water Stop comes from the English word water and water = stop = stop, so the word could mean a water stop water discharge.Photo waterstop installation on cast concrete connection.


In the photo above looks red line that is being installed by workers is a water stop on the type of dodol mounted on the dismissal of the old cast concrete to be joined by new cast concrete.So the water stop function is to hold the water nets which derive from the side, top or other direction in order not seep into the concrete, there is a water stop dodol or liquid form. Although its function is very important does not mean freedom to install in large quantities in the hope that the less likely the water will leak, because it's going to happen actually causes the concrete can not be connected perfectly so that the problem arises crack / crack and even break, if you have this then the water became more to flow freely.
