TESTING REINFORCED CONCRETE STRUCTURES FOR WATERTIGHTNESS

The recommendations included in this report are applicable to cast-in-place reinforced concrete water containment structures including tanks, reservoirs, basins, conduits, etc. The recommendations are for structures containing water or wastewater. The recommendations are not necessarily applicable to the containment of other fluids, as the viscosities of other fluids are different. However, the watertightness test may be used to indicate the tightness, relative to water, for structures containing other fluids. The recommendations are not intended for prestressed concrete structures, for precast concrete structures such as culverts or pipes, for concrete paved structures such as channels and impoundments, for hazardous material containment structures, or for gaseous containment structures.
