This document provides guidance on structural waterproofing for below ground structures. It discusses selecting a waterproofing strategy based on a site evaluation and risk assessment. The strategy involves choosing a waterproofing system that meets the client's requirements and protects against potential water ingress and consequences of failure. Design considerations include including a waterproofing specialist, understanding the client's needs, and addressing buildability and repairability.

Waterproofing describes making an object waterproof or water-resistant.
Building water-proofing is a process which is designed to prevent water from penetrating a building.
Usually extensive waterproofing measures are added to a building at the time of construction, to provide moisture control from the start
Waterproofing may also be done after a building is built, to address problems as they emerge or as part of a building retrofit
Internal areas that are waterproofed include :
bathrooms,
shower recesses,
laundries
toilets.

The Duty to Report under the Criminal Justice Act 2011Catherine Allen
Explains the exercise of the duty to report an offence under the Irish Criminal Justice Act 2011 s.19. Defines the "relevant offence" that will engage the duty, as well as the penalties for failing to report an offence. Explains the difficulties in determining the existence of a "reasonable excuse" and reporting "as soon as it is practicable".
A STUDY ON HIGH STRENGTH SELF COMPACTING CONCRETE ON EXPOSURE TO VARIOUS TEMP...Ijripublishers Ijri
The extensive use of concrete as a structural material for the high rise buildings, storage tanks, nuclear reactors and
pressure vessels increase the risk of concrete being exposed to high temperatures. This has led to a demand to improve
the understanding of the effect of temperature on concrete. The behavior of concrete exposed to high temperature is a
result of many factors including the exposed environment and constituent materials.
Concrete structures are exposed to fire when a fire accident occurs. Damage in concrete structures due to fire depends
to a great extent on the intensity and duration of fire. The distress in concrete manifests in the form of cracking and
spalling of concrete surface.

Treatments to Improve Concrete Performance - AIAW. R. Meadows
The intent of this presentation from W. R. MEADOWS is to provide the most current information available to explain the basics of cement hydration, and to introduce the various types of floor treatments and curing compounds available. The goal of this presentation is to help the specifying agency and end-user identify the correct material for the project. This program is registered with the AIA/CES for continuing professional education. The course earns one AIA credit.
