Development of waterproof methods and materials resulted in the huge changes in waterproof construction materials. In consequence, the construction-standard-production-rate underwent overall revision in 2018. Especially, from the development of the specification standard and construction methods, the waterproof construction which had lower applicability in the existing construction production rate was revised. The construction methods which did not have applicability were removed. In addition, as there was a material difference based on parts, the constructionstandard-production-rate was revised by distinguishing vertical part and floor. Furthermore, by suggesting more clear work extent, the practicability in creating the standard for calculation of the estimated price in the construction field will increase.

The demand for a construction method capable of securing a safety environment and improving quality is increasing. There is a high risk of falling when working at a high place in an environment where it is difficult to secure visibility, such as an underground space, and there is a risk of falling if cement liquid waterproof materials are transferred to the top of the scaffold by manpower. In addition, when working on a high place in a poor environment, the quality uniformity of the upper part of the wall is deteriorated. In addition, as waterproof technicians gradually age and decrease, it is difficult to secure them, so it is urgent to prepare countermeasures against the shortage of waterproof technicians. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to develop cement liquid waterproof spouting construction equipment that can secure uniform quality of construction areas to prevent accidents and ensure safety of workers, improve work efficiency and quality due to improvement of work environment. The adhesion performance of the cement liquid waterproof material could be improved by about 20% in accordance with the use of the equipment.

Waterproofing is a very important process in terms of durability of buildings. The materials used for waterproofing work to protect the concrete structure from external deterioration factors. In particular, the waterproofing materials applied to the exterior of the concrete structure have various problems due to changes in the external environment and variables in the construction process. The waterproof layer is repeatedly dried and shrunk according to changes in the external moisture environment, and the surface may be deteriorated due to exposure to long-term sunlight. In the case of the roof waterproofing in the structure, the waterproof layer which does not have a sufficient curing period shows much swelling and floating phenomenon. These defects, such as swelling and lifting, account for most of the defects that occur in the waterproof layer of the concrete slabs. Generally, it is difficult to expect the same level of performance as the initial state even if the waterproofing work is repaired when a defect occurs. Therefore, it is possible to reduce the defects of the waterproof layer such as swelling and lifting by forming a waterproof layer which can be integrated with the concrete surface by using a polyurethane type waterproofing material having a relatively low defective ratio compared to other waterproofing materials. So in this study, the basic properties of polyurethane waterproof sheet reinforced with non-woven fabric are investigated in order to understand field applicability.

Waterproof fabrics are seamed and sealed by waterproof sealing tape to prevent water from penetrating through the stitch holes. As this process may change the mechanical properties of breathable waterproof fabric related to its deformation with human body, the changes in mechanical properties were investigated. In both of parallel and perpendicular directions, tensile characteristics were remarkably changed with seaming and sealing processes. The increase of LT and WT means that the clothing sealed by waterproofing tape may produce somewhat discomfort feeling. On the other hand, the bridge of the sewing thread seemed to be reinforced by waterproofing tape. Shear characteristics such as G, 2HG, and 2HG5 gradually increased with seaming and sealing processes in parallel direction. However, they decreased with sealing process in perpendicular direction because the seam line would work as an axis located at the center of the testing range.

This experimental study shows the thermal characteristics of the fire fighter's waterproof clothing exposed to the radiation heat. From the test results, the surface temperature of the fire fighter's waterproof clothing exposed to the radiation with the passage of time sharply increased as the exposed-distance became closer. Also as the radiant heat flux increased, the surface temperature is higher and the time reaching steady state is sharply shorter. As the exposed-distance become more distant, the surface temperature of the fire fighter's waterproof clothing decreased and the difference of temperature between the front side and the back side of the clothing decreased as well. Besides, the radiant heat flux increased, the safety exposed-distance increased. Therefore it is necessary that fire fighter have to work keeping a fixed safe distance from the radiant heat source.

Four sheet-shaped and one soft-shaped self-sealing waterproof materials were prepared to recycle some GRT(Ground Rubber Tires). Their physical properties were tested to consider characteristics of them. The self-sealing waterproof materials were consisted of GRT/super absorbent polymer(SAP)/binder and mold by a hot press after mixing with a batch-typed internal mixer. The average size of GRT particles was -40 mesh, SAPs were commercial GE-500F and poly(AM-SAS-AA) prepared in this work. Binders were PU. EVA, LDPE, SBR, and poly(2-EHA). And PU film was attached to improve the properties of waterproof materials. Characteristics of self-sealing waterproof materials consisted of by GRT/GE-500F/EV-600/PU film and GRT/GE-500F/SBR(vulcanization)/PU film among the developed self-sealing waterproof materials were similar to the commercial products. And properties of the soft-shaped self-sealing waterproof materials consisted of by GRT/GE-500F/Po1y(2-EHA) and CRT/Poly(AM-SAS-AA)/poly(2-EHA) were improved within from four times to twenty times compared to the one oi the commercial products.

For successful waterproofing construction, it is very important to secure construction quality as well as material performance of waterproofing materials used in construction. Due to the long-term cost reduction policy following the economic downturn in the construction market, most construction companies are using general low-priced waterproof materials rather than high-quality waterproof materials without clear quality control standards. Without clear education on construction, construction is being carried out with meaning only on construction activities. In addition, the waterproofing method applied in combination is a situation where water leakage occurs due to waterproofing failure due to insufficient construction quality because the construction method is complicated. Therefore, it is necessary to review the quality control measures(design, materials, construction) for successful waterproofing work and improve problems that are derived so that stable waterproofing work can be done. In order to expect the leakage prevention effect of a building, first, it is required to select appropriate materials for each part of the building and environment in the design stage, and the selected materials must satisfy all items of the Korean Industrial Standard(KS). Second, to secure the quality of waterproofing construction, sincere construction by workers is required. In this paper, we tried to describe "review of waterproof design", "constructor education", "site inspection", and "criticism(correction/supplementation)" as quality control measures after material selection.

Wet-work can be defined as activities where workers have to immerse their hands in liquids for >2 hours per shift, or wear waterproof (occlusive) gloves for a corresponding amount of time, or wash their hands >20 times per shift. This review considers the recent literature on wet-work exposure, and examines wet-work as a main risk factor for developing irritant contact dermatitis of the hands. The aim of this paper is to provide a detailed description of wet-work exposure among specific occupational groups who extensively deal with water and other liquids in their occupations. Furthermore, it highlights the extent and importance of the subsequent adverse health effects caused by exposure to wet-work.
