Saudi Arabian Standards Organization (SASO) and those mentioned hereafter shall be
followed.

1.2 SUMMARY

A. This Section includes cold-applied, emulsified- asphalt damp-proofing applied to the

following below-grade surfaces, generally in contact with soils:

1. Below-grade surfaces of concrete footings, foundations and columns.

2. Exterior, below-grade surfaces of concrete and masonry foundation walls.
3. Back side of concrete and masonry retaining walls, below grade.
4. Back face of exterior Wythe of masonry cavity walls.

B. Related Sections include the following:

1. Division 7 Section "Elastomeric Sheet Waterproofing."

2. Division 7 Section "APP-Modified Bituminous Sheet Waterproofing."

1.3 SUBMITTALS

A. Product Data: For each type of product indicated. Include recommendations for method of
application, primer, number of coats, coverage or thickness, and protection course.

B. Material Certificates: For each product, signed by manufacturers.

1.4 QUALITY ASSURANCE

A. Source Limitations: Obtain primary dampproofing materials and primers through one
source from a single manufacturer. Provide secondary materials recommended by
manufacturer of primary materials.

1.5 PROJECT CONDITIONS

A. Weather Limitations: Proceed with installation only when existing and forecasted weather
conditions permit asphalt dampproofing to be performed according to manufacturers'
written instructions.

B. Ventilation: Provide adequate ventilation during application of dampproofing in enclosed

spaces. Maintain ventilation until dampproofing has thoroughly cured.

PART 2 - PRODUCTS

2.1 MANUFACTURERS

A. Available Manufacturers: Subject to compliance with requirements

2.2 BITUMINOUS DAMPPROOFING

A. Cold-Applied, Emulsified-Asphalt Dampproofing:

1. One of the following at Contractor's option:

a. Trowel Coats: ASTM D 1227, Type II, Class 1.

b. Fibered Brush and Spray Coats: ASTM D 1227, Type II, Class 1.
c. Brush and Spray Coats: ASTM D 1227, Type III, Class 1.

2.3 MISCELLANEOUS MATERIALS

A. Protection Course: One of the following, at Contractor's option:

1. Asphalt-Board Type: Premolded, multi-ply, semirigid board consisting of a mineral-

stabilized asphalt core sandwiched between layers of asphalt-saturated felt, and faced
on 1 side with polyethylene film; thickness not less than 3 mm.
2. Polystyrene Type: Fan-folded, rigid, extruded-polystyrene board insulation
sandwiched between 2 sheets of plastic film; nominal thickness not less than 6 mm.
3. Plastic Panel Type: Semi-rigid, extruded or molded, non-biodegradable plastic
panels with a cellular drainage core; overall thickness not less than 4 mm.

a. Puncture Resistance: 1000 N minimum; ASTM E 154.

B. Protection Course, Roll-Roofing Type: Smooth-surfaced roll roofing complying with

ASTM D 6380, Type II.

PART 3 - EXECUTION

3.1 EXAMINATION

A. Examine substrates for compliance with requirements for surface smoothness and other
conditions affecting performance of work.

1. Begin dampproofing application only after substrate construction and penetrating

work have been completed and unsatisfactory conditions have been corrected.

3.2 PREPARATION

A. Protection of Other Work: Mask or otherwise protect adjoining exposed surfaces from
being stained, spotted, or coated with dampproofing. Prevent dampproofing materials from
entering and clogging weep holes and drains.

B. Clean substrates of projections and substances detrimental to work; fill voids, seal joints,
and apply bond breakers if any, as recommended by prime material manufacturer.

3.3 APPLICATION, GENERAL

A. Comply with manufacturer's written recommendations unless more stringent requirements

are indicated or required by Project conditions to ensure satisfactory performance of
dampproofing.

1. Apply additional coats if recommended by manufacturer or required to achieve

coverages indicated.
2. Allow each coat of dampproofing to cure 24 hours before applying subsequent coats.

B. Apply dampproofing to surfaces of footings, foundations, foundation columns and

foundation walls in contact with soils whether indicated or not.

1. Apply vertically from finished-grade line to top of footing or foundation, extend over
top and down face of footing or foundation.
2. Extend onto blinding beds, intersecting walls andfootings, but do not extend onto
surfaces exposed to view when Project is completed, unless otherwise indicated.
3. Install flashings and corner protection stripping at internal and external corners,
changes in plane, construction joints, cracks, and where indicated as "reinforced," by
embedding an 200-mm wide strip of asphalt-coated glass fabric in a heavy coat of
dampproofing. Dampproofing coat required for embedding fabric is in addition to
other coats required.

3.4 COLD-APPLIED, EMULSIFIED-ASPHALT DAMPPROOFING

A. On Concrete Footings, Foundations, Foundation Columns and Walls: Apply two brush or
spray coats at not less than 0.6 L/sq. m for first coat and 0.4 L/sq. m for second coat, one
fibered brush or spray coat at not less than 1.2 L/sq. m, or one trowel coat at not less than
1.6 L/sq. m.

B. On Unparged Masonry Foundation Walls: Apply primer and two brush or spray coats at not
less than 0.6 L/sq. m for first coat and 0.4 L/sq. m for second coat, primer and one fibered
brush or spray coat at not less than 1.2 L/sq. m, or primer and one trowel coat at not less
than 2 L/sq. m.

C. On Unparged Masonry Foundation Walls: Apply primer and one trowel coat at not less
than 2 L/sq. m.

D. On Backs of Concrete Retaining Walls: Apply one brush or spray coat at not less than 0.5
L/sq. m.

E. On Backs of Masonry Retaining Walls: Apply primer and one brush or spray coat at not
less than 0.5 L/sq. m.

3.5 INSTALLATION OF PROTECTION COURSE

A. Where indicated, install protection course over completed-and-cured dampproofing.

Comply with dampproofing material manufacturer's written recommendations for attaching
protection course. Support protection course with spot application of trowel-grade mastic
where not otherwise indicated.

3.6 CLEANING

A. Remove dampproofing materials from surfaces not intended to receive dampproofing.
