Cement-mixed polymer-based waterproofing materials are generally used in the form of application by mixing in the field, and it is necessary to supplement the construction ability for air bubbles and uneven coating thickness due to irregularities during construction. The final purpose of this study is to improve the waterproofing performance by adding a sheet attaching process to the composite construction rather than the single process of painting and applying the construction method when applying the polymer waterproofing material to the field. In this regard, the applicability was evaluated by examining the material, environment, and manufacturing method.

This study aims to propose a performance metric for the application of a horizontal air-exhausting system to be used for the reduction of vapor and/or moisture that exists in the waterproof layer, by evaluating the physical properties. For this reason, tests in accordance with current standards were carried out, and the results were examined. Finally, a proposal was established for a general performance metric that could be applied as fundamental data based on the user's judgment. This has some limitations, in that the object is existing merchandise, however it should be useful for application in the construction field. In the future, analysis of a wider area, including workability, should be added in the phase of field application.

The aim of this study was to produce polymer cement composites (PCCs) composed of polymer dispersion and cement as crack repair materials for RC structures, and to investigate their fundamental properties. The test mixtures for the study were based on EVA and SAE polymer dispersions, and the water-cement ratio was determined while varying the polymer-cement ratio(P/C) in four different levels (20%, 60%, 80%, and 100%) to achieve the desired viscosity of PCCs considering their fillability as crack repair materials. Additionally, silica fume was incorporated into P/C 80% and 100% specimens to enhance their stiffness. The basic properties of PCCs as crack repair materials, such as viscosity, flowability, fillability, tensile strength, elongation, and modulus of elasticity, were examined. The results showed that P/C depending on the type of polymer significantly affected the viscosity and flowability, and appropriate w/c ratios were needed to achieve the desired viscosity for the mixture design with consideration of fillability as crack repair materials for RC structures. All designed mixtures in this study exhibited excellent fillability. The tensile strength and elongation of PCCs satisfied the KS regulation for cement- polymer modified waterproofing coatings. The incorporation of silica fume improved the tensile strength and modulus of elasticity of PCCs. Depending on the type of polymer, mixtures using SAE showed better fundamental properties as crack repair materials for RC structures compared to those using EVA. In conclusion, SAE-based P/C 80% or 100% with the addition of up to 30% silica fume can be recommended as suitable mixtures for crack repair of RC structures.

Nowadays, energy-saving has become important in the construction industry. Above all things, outside insulation on buildings is important in measure of energy-saving. However, its insulation performance is degraded by the problem of that Cement-polymer modified waterproof coatings are used mostly for covering plaster mortar. In this study, we examine the optimum size of the silica and how does silica's size effect on physical properties of outside insulation covering plaster mortar.

In this study, the development of a self-healing concrete waterproofing agent was examined, focusing on its manufacturing and waterproofing properties. The optimal ratio using microcapsules for the concrete waterproofing agent was determined through assessments of flow, compressive strength, and permeability conducted during the mortar stage. These findings aimed to provide fundamental data for evaluating the self-healing properties of the concrete waterproofing agent designed for use in concrete structures. The self-healing concrete waterproofing agent was comprised of three types of inorganic materials commonly used for repair purposes. From experimental results, a composition ratio with a high potassium silicate content, referred to as SIM-2, was found suitable. A surfactant mixing ratio of 0.03 % was identified to enhance the dispersibility of the concrete waterproofing agent, while a mixing ratio of 0.2 % distilled water was deemed suitable for viscosity adjustment. For the magnetic self-healing concrete waterproofing agent's healing agent, using microcapsules in the range of 0.5 % to 0.7 % met the KS F 4949 and KS F 4926 standards.
