With the increased demand for membrane structures in recent years, there have been many studies of their mechanical properties, to the extent that such structures have become recognized as independent structures with a level of safety and durability comparable to those of other general structures. But in reality, the study for the maintenance of membrane structures has not been as active. In particularly, the study of watertightness from the perspective of maintenance has been very limited. Accordingly, a study on securing watertightness performance and the guidelines for maintenance is necessary. In this study, through a case study of water leakage accidents in membrane structures overseas, causes of leakage were selected from the membrane material itself, joint parts and open door of roof part in membrane structure. The water leakage and deterioration elements were analyzed from those leakage causes. The degree of importance of the water leakage and deterioration index was also designated using the AHP (Analytic Hierarchy Process) method. As a result, the basic technical index was suggested for the maintenance of the roofs of large-span membrane structures to prevent water leakage. This index will be used to make a guideline for the long-term maintenance of the roofs of large-span membrane structures.

The purpose of this study is to present the optimum performance of hybrid waterproofing technology, which is including material and construction method. Recently, Hybrid waterproofing technology is developed little by little in KOREA. But there is not any other criterion of performance and evaluation of this technology. So, It is needed that appropriate performance items is are settled urgently. This paper were obtained by the SPSS analysis. In this study the safety factor are more important performance of building waterproofing materials than durability comfortability and productivity. And results of this analysis showed that (1) safety performance consists of Fatigue resistance, Crack Control performance deterioration Processing of tensile performance, Compressive Strength test (2) comfortability performance consists of watertightness, bond performance (3) persistency performance consists of abrasion resistance, tensile performance, flexural strength (4) productivity performance consists of dimension, unit space weight.

In this study, hybrid method using polyvinyl acetate (PVAc) which has a strong adhesion and flexibility in which acrylic copolymer chemical-reaction reacts with cement, and is eco-friendly, is to improve the watertightness. The hybrid method is applied applied primarily waterproof stuff comprising silicate system and secondary mortar mixed with PVAc on the concrete surface. And then, in order to evaluate the performance, the properties of bond strength and amount of water absorption were measured. Based on the above experiments, mock-up specimens for field application were fabricated, and then the properties were evaluated as laboratory experiments. As the results, specimens cast from hybrid method using PVAc showed the best results on watertightness and bond strength. And also, with respect to experiment of mock-up specimens, the properties were in agreement with laboratory results. Especially, it could know that PVAc has strengthening effect from the results of the compressive strength. Due to outstanding results of carbonation depth and resistance to chloride ion penetration, it may be applied in weak areas such as underground and marine structures.

Curtain wall means a non-bearing wall that forms the outer walls of a building to divide the exterior and interior space. The increased use of curtain walls is diverse, including structural safety, watertightness, and wind pressure. As the government's energy conservation policy and the aim of zero-energy houses, the importance of heat reduction is also greatly increased. So, the study of monotony is constantly being conducted. Thus, in this study, insulation performance was analyzed through simulation according to the shape of curtain wall and the shape of insulation inside, and the purpose of this study was to provide basic data on the application of insulation criteria by energy saving design of buildings.

The leakage of tunnel causes the long-term durability of the structures such as concrete lining to deteriorate. The cause of durability degradation can be various substances contained in groundwater such as chloride, sulphate, water, and gas. In this study, a series of test were carried out to determine the watertightness performance and the resistance to salt water of the spray-applied membrane used as non-structural rock support or as a waterproof material for tunnels. As a result, it was found that the penetration of water could occur in a specimen, and the reason was that the internal pores generated by the mixing of the liquid polymer and the powder material and the internal pores were connected by the water pressure. The tensile strength of the test specimens immersed in distilled water and saline water was found to be reduced to less than half of the tensile strength in normal condition. In addition, The elongation was measured to be higher in distilled water than in salt water. However, this result will require further investigation.

This study is an evaluation of the water-tightness properties of rain-block systems in the sliding-roof joint of large-span membrane structures. In this study, we suggested a method of evaluating the water-tightness performance of the joint part of a sliding door in the roof of a large-span membrane structure (for a pilot project), in an environment of rain and wind. The shape of the rainwater blocking systems of the joint part in a sliding door verifies the defects and the effects of water leakage prevention when there is precipitation with wind conditions. To secure the water-tightness of large span membrane structures, it is necessary to have a guideline on the evaluation of the design for rain-block system of the joint part, and the quality of the membrane material, both of a retractable roof and a closed roof.

In this study, a comparative test was conducted on a specially developed elastic waterproof paint and general water-based paint for the purpose of responding to cracks occurring on the outer wall of concrete structures and improving watertightness. Through the comparative experiment, it was confirmed that the watertightness could be improved by securing the crack shielding property, and it was also confirmed that about 10 times more crack responsiveness was secured compared to general water-based paint. In addition, it was confirmed that the adhesion performance of at least 1.3MPa and resistance to a water permeation pressure of 0.1MPa were possible, confirming that stability was secured from a waterproofing perspective.

This study is the things to experiment and evaluate the performance of self-healing water-proofing on the concrete to be using the crystal growth composite waterproofing admixture. The cylinder to be making on the concrete by ${\varnothing}150{\times}300$ mm for evaluating the performance of self-healing water-proofing was aging 90 days and cut on a 50 mm. So, it prompted the crack and applied. After it measured the quantity of water to be flow the water throughout the crack part of the cylinder, it applied the basic formular of Darcy's law and calculated the coefficient of water permeability. So, it verified the performance of self-healing water-proofing on the basis of the changing shape of the water permeability. This experiment is the thing to be applied the general evaluation of the structure to demand the real watertightness on doing for the evaluating of performance of the quantity of water leak and self-healing water-proofing about the various penetration crack.

The ceramic metal resin paints for waterproof and anti corrosion is not long history in development of materials even many actual result. So far, no standard have been given to construction and maintenance method, Quality and property, it is real state that cannot afford to proper quality control in job site or production. This study has been test for the ceramic metal resin paints for water and anti corrosion, as the result, it have proper performance of job site and mechanical performance of compare to other existing. In particular, tensile strength indicates more high about $14.1N/mm^2$ than epoxy resin paints, and in elongation per unit length is more high It is shows having better adhesive strength than epoxy resin paint for crack on the concrete structure. Moreover, The ceramic metal paint for water and corrosion proofing have to have main performance is watertightness and resistance for external impact, chloride ion permeation, drinkable water elution.
