Designation:D5898/D5898M96(Reapproved 2021)Standard Guide forStandard Details for Adhered Sheet Waterproofing1This standard is issued under the fixed designation D5898/D5898M;the number immediately following the designation indicates theyear of original adoption or,in the case of revision,the year of last revision.A number in parentheses indicates the year of lastreapproval.A superscript epsilon()indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1.Scope1.1 This guide covers details for typical conditions encoun-tered in adhered sheet waterproofing on below-grade structuresand plazas.1.2 This guide does not cover liquid-applied waterproofing.1.3 The values stated in either SI units or inch-pound unitsare to be regarded separately as standard.The values stated ineach system may not be exact equivalents;therefore,eachsystem shall be used independently of the other.Combiningvalues from the two systems may result in nonconformancewith the standard.1.4 This international standard was developed in accor-dance with internationally recognized principles on standard-ization established in the Decision on Principles for theDevelopment of International Standards,Guides and Recom-mendations issued by the World Trade Organization TechnicalBarriers to Trade(TBT)Committee.2.Referenced Documents2.1 ASTM Standards:2D1079 Terminology Relating to Roofing and Waterproofing3.Terminology3.1 DefinitionsFor definitions of terms used in this guide,refer to Terminology D1079.3.2 Definitions of Terms Specific to This Standard:3.2.1 adhered sheet waterproofing,na system consistingof one or more plies of organic or glass fiber felts or fabricsapplied in hot or cold bitumens or modified bitumens,or one ormore plies of a manufactured sheet of modified bitumen thatmay be reinforced or laminated with scrim or polyethylene,ora polymeric or vulcanized elastomeric membrane.The systemis applied directly to concrete or masonry surfaces belowgrade.3.2.2 elevated slab,na framed or suspended concrete slabover a habitable or useable space.3.2.3 fillet,nliquid-applied modified bitumen or masticused at internal corners before membrane application to form atransition of less than 90.3.2.4 reinforcement,ngenerally,one or more strips ofmembrane,felts,or fabrics,installed at corners and overconstruction joints.3.3 Abbreviations:3.3.1 LAMliquid-applied membrane.3.3.2 SSstainless steel.3.3.3 EJexpansion joint.3.3.4 NRnot recommended.3.3.5 MTLnoncorrosive metal.4.Significance and Use4.1 This guide illustrates general details for below-gradeand plaza waterproofing.It serves as a guide that will enablethe designer to prepare complete waterproofing details for eachspecific condition that occurs on a project.5.Drawings5.1 This guide is not all inclusive.The designer shoulddetail all typical and special conditions on the project,payingparticular attention to transitions in plane and intersection ofdifferent details.The applicator should provide shop drawingsof each condition to confirm field conditions and to verify hisunderstanding of the design intent.5.2 Waterproofing membranes and reinforcement are indi-cated on the figures as a single thick line,regardless of thenumber of plies.5.3 Protection layers have been omitted for clarity.SeeSection 6.6.Protection6.1 Protection materials are required over all waterproofingto prevent damage from backfill,reinforcing chairs,andconstruction traffic,unless the membrane system incorporates1This guide is under the jurisdiction of ASTM Committee D08 on Roofing andWaterproofing and is the direct responsibility of Subcommittee D08.22 on Water-proofing and Dampproofing Systems.Current edition approved Dec.1,2021.Published December 2021.Originallyapproved in 1996.Last previous edition approved in 2013 as D5898 96(2013).DOI:10.1520/D5898_D5898M-96R21.2For referenced ASTM standards,visit the ASTM website,www.astm.org,orcontact ASTM Customer Service at serviceastm.org.For Annual Book of ASTMStandards volume information,refer to the standards Document Summary page onthe ASTM website.Copyright ASTM International,100 Barr Harbor Drive,PO Box C700,West Conshohocken,PA 19428-2959.United StatesThis international standard was developed in accordance with internationally recognized principles on standardization established in the Decision on Principles for theDevelopment of International Standards,Guides and Recommendations issued by the World Trade Organization Technical Barriers to Trade(TBT)Committee.1?an integral protection layer.Protection also is required wheremembranes terminate above grade and may be exposed toultraviolet light.6.2 Materials for protection include:asphalt compositionboards,plastic drainage panels,low-density expanded polysty-rene boards,and extruded polystyrene insulation.Low-densityexpanded polystyrene boards and some types of plastic drain-age panels are not suitable for protection on horizontal sur-faces.Protection materials are loose-laid on horizontal mem-branes and attached to vertical membr
