ASTM D3743-84(2000)

Standard Terminology Relating To Bridge Deck and Substructure Protection (Withdrawn 2004)

SCOPE
1.1 This standard defines terminology commonly used in the discussion of bridge deck protective systems and waterproofing membranes
WITHDRAWN RATIONALE
This standard defines terminology commonly used in the discussion of bridge deck protective systems and waterproofing membranes.
Formerly under the jurisdiction of Committee D04 on Road and Paving Materials, this terminology was withdrawn in June 2004. This terminology was withdrawn because the level of use and interest was either none or very minimal.
