Recently, waterproof construction used to self adhesive waterproofing sheet in the actual field in winter for reduce cost and term. However self adhesive waterproofing sheet's quality is declined in low temperature condition. So, this study was to confirm on the low temperature condition of concrete substrate effecting the adhesion of self adhesion waterproofing sheet using interface leakage test. As a result of this study, self adhesion waterproofing sheet must not be used at temperature below 5℃. Also, adhesion between waterproofing sheet and concrete is declined in low temperature.

In this study, an evaluation was conducted for a total of 16 conditions to suggest an appropriate construction method for the construction joint of polyurea waterproofing membrane coating. It was analyzed that the longer the construction time difference, the higher the rate of water leaks through joints, and it was confirmed that water leaks could be prevented through primer construction. In addition, since the surface of polyurea exposed outdoors for a long period of time is deteriorated and weakened, it was analyzed that polishing the area increases surface damage and affects the formation of the interface. During maintenance construction, it would be desirable to apply a primer before construction, and it is believed that using the same urea-based material will ensure waterproofing stability.

Most concrete gravity-type dams in and out of the country were constructed by column method to control cracks caused by concrete hydration heat generated during construction, resulting in a certain level of leakage after impoundment through various causes, such as contraction joints and construction joints. However, due to the characteristics of concrete structures that shrink and expand according to temperature, concrete dams have vertical joints and drains to allow penetration. PVC waterproof shows excellent effects in completion of the dam, which however increases the possibility of interfacial failure due to different thermal expansion. Other causes of penetration may include problems with quality control during installation, generation of cracks due to heat of hydration of concrete, waterproofing methods, etc. In the case of Bohyunsan Dam in Yeongcheon, North Gyeongsang Province, the amount of drainage in the gallery was checked and underwater, and it was confirmed that there are many penetrations from drainage holes connected to vertical joints, and that some of the PVC waterproofs are not fully operated. As a new method to prevent penetration through vertical joints, D.S.I.M. (Dam Sealing Innovation Method) developed by World E&C was applied to Bohyunsan Dam and checked the amount of drainage in the gallery. As a result of first testing three most leaking vertical joints, the drain in the gallery was reduced by 87% on the average and then applied to the remaining 13 locations, which showed a 83% reduction effect based on the total drain in the gallery. Summing up these results, it was found that D.S.I.M. preventing water leakage from the upstream face is a valid construction method to reduce the water see-through and penetration quantity seen in downstream faces of concrete dams. If D.S.I.M. is applied to other concrete dams at domestic and abroad, it is expected that it will be very effective to prevent water leakage through vertical joints that are visible from downstream faces.
