It is difficult to completely stop water leaks into underground concrete structures by using normal water-proof sheets. Since the sheets are not chemically bonded with structures, the underground water penetrated in between leaks into structures through the cracks in the sheets. We have developed a water-proof sheet that chemically adheres to structure concrete after it is cast, and confirmed its performance through laboratory tests. This paper introduces the newly developed water-proof sheet and test results.
