Designation:C1471/C1471M05(Reapproved 2014)1Standard Guide forthe Use of High Solids Content Cold Liquid-AppliedElastomeric Waterproofing Membrane on Vertical Surfaces1This standard is issued under the fixed designation C1471/C1471M;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.1NOTEUnits information was editorially corrected in July 2014.1.Scope1.1 This guide describes the use of a high solids content,cold liquid-applied elastomeric waterproofing membrane thatmeets the performance criteria specified in Specification C836,subject to intermittent hydrostatic pressure in a waterproofingsystem intended for installation on vertical cast-in-place con-crete surfaces.1.2 The committee with jurisdiction over this standard is notaware of any comparable standards published by other orga-nizations.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 non-conformancewith the standard.1.4 This standard does not purport to address all of thesafety concerns,if any,associated with its use.It is theresponsibility of the user of this standard to establish appro-priate safety and health practices and determine the applica-bility of regulatory limitations prior to use.2.Referenced Documents2.1 ASTM Standards:2C117 Test Method for Materials Finer than 75-m(No.200)Sieve in Mineral Aggregates by WashingC717 Terminology of Building Seals and SealantsC836 Specification for High Solids Content,Cold Liquid-Applied Elastomeric Waterproofing Membrane for Usewith Separate Wearing CourseC898 Guide for Use of High Solids Content,Cold Liquid-Applied Elastomeric Waterproofing Membrane with Sepa-rate Wearing CourseD4263 Test Method for Indicating Moisture in Concrete bythe Plastic Sheet Method3.Terminology3.1 DefinitionsRefer to Terminology C717 for definitionsof terms used in this standard.3.2 Definitions of Terms Specific to This Standard:3.2.1 drainage compositegeocomposite consisting of ageotextile filter fabric and a drainage core of various thick-nesses and shapes.4.Significance and Use4.1 This grade provides considerations for the design andinstallation of liquid-applied waterproofing systems.The intentis to provide information and guidelines for consideration bydesigners.Typical uses for these systems include,amongothers,planters and foundation walls with drainage systems.4.2 This guide is intended to be considered in conjunctionwith Guide C898 to provide total system guidelines.5.Comparison to Other Standards5.1 The committee with jurisdiction over this standard is notaware of any comparable standards published by other orga-nizations.6.General6.1 GeneralThe major components to be considered for abelow grade building wall waterproofing system are thestructural wall or substrate to be waterproofed,waterproofingmembrane,membrane protection,drainage,and backfill.Ad-ditional components to be considered are membraneterminations,penetrations,joints,and thermal insulation.6.2 CompatibilityIt is essential that all components andcontiguous elements be compatible,and that they be coordi-nated to form an integrated waterproofing system.6.3 ContinuityIt is essential that the waterproofingmembrane,including all joints and transitions,is continuous.1This 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 July 1,2014.Published August 2014.Originallyapproved in 2000.Last previous edition approved in 2005 as C1471-05.DOI:10.1520/C1471_C1471M-05R14E01.2For 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 States1 Special attention must be paid to changes in plane,transitionsfrom one substrate to another,terminations,and abuttingwaterproofing systems.Expansion and control joints in abut-ting vertical and horizontal surfaces must maintain the conti-nuity of the system.It is recommended that,during systemdevelopment and documentation,isometric drawings be madeof three dimensional connections and transitions.7.Substrate7.1 GeneralThe building wall substrate referred to in thisguide is reinforced,cast-in-place concrete.7.2 StrengthThe strength of concrete is a factor to beconsidered with respect to liquid-applied membranes so far asit relates to surface finish,bond st
