This paper studies the leakage situation of domestic residential building underground parking lots and main leakage areas. 18 complexes were studied and the results showed that 80% of buildings with exterior waterproofing had no leakage, but all buildings with interior waterproofing had leakage. According to a survey among professionals, water leakage problems are considered to be severe in underground parking lots and a preventative measure is required by the government. By comparing the survey and the actual situation at hand, the results showed that the lowest floor slab, wall construction joints, and floor expansion joints were the most prone to leakage. Based on the results, further study to develop a design manual for the appropriate prevention of leakage is deemed necessary.

In this study, a survey was conducted on the required measurement and waterproofing performance for residential building underground structure leakage prevention system. According to the results of the survey, it has been determined that leakage problem is considered to be quite severe, and many respondents have agreed. The legal guidelines and regulation systems do not reflect properly on the environmental requirements or conditions, resulting in continued leakage problem. In regards to this, a standardized waterproofing technique that can be used in underground areas of residential structures is required as an obligation and the development of high performance waterproofing method that allows for wet concrete surface adhesion and a guideline, design and maintenance method that allows the control of overall situational control of leakage is required.

This study analyzes the cause and the repairing method of water leak by parts of basement parking lot which is recorded to have a high defect frequency in apartment buildings. It has been assessed that the cause of water leakage on the first floor upper substrate is due to such factors as landscaping and weights. During construction or through other cases, it has been determined that cracks were produced in the apartment structure because the structure was weak and exposed to the effects of the substrate movement. The base floor and underground external walls are areas that are exposed to water pressure (uplife pressure), thus in normal cases the rear surface repair of the structure using sythetic rubberized polymer gel should be considered as an effective method. However, in cases where application of waterproofing layer is required in the structure due to high water pressure, using asystolic cement milk grout to form the waterproofing layer and applying water-swelling acrylic material into the cracked areas is considered to be highly effective.

An analysis of the current water leak status of understand structure (underground parking lots, staircases, plumbing systems, water reservoirs, etc.) of multi-family housing in South Korea shows that water leaks are found from cracks in all areas of the underground structure caused by the degradation environment (water pressure by underground water, humidity, temperature, earth pressure, soil behaviour and vibration, etc.), which result in various problems, including mold, malodour, debonding of finishing materials, exfoliation, breakout, water leaks in electrical boxes, efflorescence, sedimentation of calcium hydroxide, decoloration, rusting, damages and pollution among others. Therefore, this study aims to analyse the current status of water leaks in underground structure and use the results as the basic data for developing a standard guideline for water leaks and maintenance by parts of the underground structure of multi-family housing.

일반적으로 공동주택 지하주차장과 같이 구조물이 대형화되거나 복잡할 경우 구조물의 응력취약 부위에서 균열, 누수 등의 문제가 발생할 확률이 크다. 이에 대한 대책으로 설계자들은 신축줄눈을 선호하고 있으나 신축줄눈은 시공상의 어려움과 사용 중 잦은 하자 발생이라는 문제점을 안고 있다. 이 때문에 근래에 들어 대형 건물을 한 단위로 처리하고 철근으로 보강하려는 경향이 있으나 구속도 차이에 따라 균열, 누수 등의 문제가 여전히 발생하고 있다. 이를 해결하기 위하여 수축대를 설치하여 일정 요구량의 초기 수축량을 수축대에서 흡수하고 이후 수축대 부위에 콘크리트를 메워 일체화시킴으로써 초기 수축에 의한 균열을 상당부분 방지할 수 있다.(중략)
