BITUMINOUS STRUCTURAL SEALS WHICH RESIST WATER PRESSURE

Developments in methods of protecting engineering structures from the effects of ground water are discussed, with particular reference to bituminous seals and the necessary adaptation of specifications. Mention is made of experience gained in the protection of alpine tunnels in Switzerland, particularly the use of machines to place the seals, and the advantages and disadvantages of the different machines are explained. Details are given of various other projects in Germany where sealing was carried out. /TRRL/
