Test methods for repair materials for water-leakage cracks in underground concrete structures — Part 5: Test method for watertightness

ISO/TS 16774-5:2017 specifies a laboratory test method for evaluating watertightness of water-leakage crack repair materials through permeability testing. These permeability test procedures follow applied conditions outlined in different national testing parameters and requirements. As such, the results are only intended to provide a comparative performance evaluation of the waterproofing repair materials between different products of the same type of repair material. ISO/TS 16774-5:2017 outlines general guidelines and procedures for the test method. Specific variables that control the quantifiable parameters of the testing are filled in using relevant national standardizations and/or testing parameters.

Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards
bodies (ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out
through ISO technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical
committee has been established has the right to be represented on that committee. International
organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work.
ISO collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of
electrotechnical standardization.
The procedures used to develop this document and those intended for its further maintenance are
described in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 1. In particular the different approval criteria needed for the
different types of ISO documents should be noted. This document was drafted in accordance with the
editorial rules of the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2 (see www .iso .org/ directives).

Introduction
ISO/TR 16475 outlines six basic properties and the required performance levels of water-leakage repair
materials, and ISO/TS 16774-1 through ISO/TS 16774-6 provide test methods designed to evaluate the
respective properties of these repair materials.
These test methods are intended to serve as references for nations that have not yet developed a test
method on the six proposed required performance properties of water leakage repair materials. If other
forms of test methods that are simpler, more accurate or more organized are available, such methods
are recommended for use instead.
Many of the dependent variables outlined in the ISO 16774 series of reference test methods are subject
to change in accordance with the environmental conditions (temperature; chemical substance and
concentration; relative humidity; width of movement activity; water pressure or water flow velocity,
etc.) outlined in the standards and testing parameters used in respective countries.
In ISO/TS 16774-1, ISO/TS 16774-5 and ISO/TS 16774-6, for the purpose of objectively comparing the
performance of injected repair materials, artificial cracks of same volume were used to control the
usage of repair materials for each testing cycle and enable repetition of the same test methods under
the same conditions.

Test methods for repair materials for water-leakage cracks
in underground concrete structures —
Part 5:
Test method for watertightness
1 Scope
This document specifies a laboratory test method for evaluating watertightness of water-leakage crack
repair materials through permeability testing.
These permeability test procedures follow applied conditions outlined in different national testing
parameters and requirements. As such, the results are only intended to provide a comparative
performance evaluation of the waterproofing repair materials between different products of the same
type of repair material.
This document outlines general guidelines and procedures for the test method. Specific variables that
control the quantifiable parameters of the testing are filled in using relevant national standardizations
and/or testing parameters.
NOTE 1 This test method classifies and categorizes materials that are tested into families of similar properties
for the purpose of making relative comparisons with the data results.
NOTE 2 Each individual repair material can be further tested in an actual construction site application for a
complete assessment.

4 Principle
Impermeability to water pressure is one of the fundamental properties that water-leakage repair
materials should possess. Property changes in the repair material due to the applied hydro-static
pressure can influence the repair material’s performance and lead to waterproofing failure. The test
method in this document evaluates the watertightness properties of repair materials injected into a
test specimen with an artificial crack through a permeability test (checking for leakage with a specified
amount of water pressure), thereby assessing the material’s performance in a qualitative method.
5 Apparatus
2
5.1 Air compressor, which should be able to handle minimum air pressure value of 0,1 N/mm to
2
0,3 N/mm .
5.2 Permeability test chamber, which should be able to handle minimum water pressure value of
2 2
0,1 N/mm to 0,3 N/mm (output method).
NOTE Conditions outlined in 5.1 and 5.2 are subject to change in accordance with different national testing
parameters and requirements.
6 Preparation of the test specimen and artificial crack conditions
1) Two separate concrete or mortar substrate parts should be cured to form a water-leakage crack
test specimen. The parts consist of upper and bottom parts, and they should be flat and cylindrical
in shape and made using concrete or mortar.
NOTE The mix proportion is (water: cement: fine aggregate = 1: 2: 6, mass ratio). Curing period for the
mortar or concrete substrate parts is approximately 72 h, but can also be subject to change in accordance
with different national testing parameters and requirements.
2) The bottom substrate is drilled with evenly spaced holes (Ø2,5 mm) near the centre of the substrate.
The pinholes shall be drilled all the way through from one surface of the substrate part to the other.
NOTE The purpose of these pinholes is to check for signs of leakage during repair material injection and
during permeability testing.
3) Spacers are placed on one surface of the bottom substrate part without covering the pinholes, and
the upper substrate part is placed on top of the spacers. The substrate parts, now having formed
the test specimen with the artificial crack, are held together with tape, silicone sealants or other
applicable materials along the exterior side. The spacer height represents the width of the crack
and can vary depending on the different national testing parameters and requirements.
NOTE Any material can be used to hold the two substrate parts together with a crack space in between,
but they should leave an inlet in one side for material injection.
4) The injection space should be flushed out with water before injecting the repair material to remove
any debris as well as to verify that the interior mortar surface is sufficiently wet for repair material
injection. After making sure the substrate parts are held together tightly, place the test specimen
under water for a specified amount of time. After taking the specimen out of the water, inject the
repair material into the specimen.
The injection method varies according to different national testing parameters and requirements.
If manufacturer’s instructions are available, employment of this method is recommended. If debris
and other substances are present they should be removed prior to material application.
