Abstract
A blindside waterproofed building foundation system and method of forming the same are provided. The system includes a lagging wall, a monolithic waterproof layer adjacent to the lagging wall, and a foundation layer adjacent to the monolithic waterproof layer. The system and method provide a monolithic waterproofing layer that can remain adhered to a foundation surface even if the materials used to construct the lagging wall deteriorates, decomposes, or moves over time.
Claims20
A blindside waterproofed building foundation system comprising:
- i) a lagging wall;
- ii) a monolithic waterproof layer adjacent to and in direct contact with the lagging wall;
- and
- iii) a foundation layer adjacent to the monolithic waterproof layer,
- wherein an adhesive value between the monolithic waterproof layer and the foundation layer is greater than an adhesive value between the monolithic waterproof layer and the lagging wall.
A method of forming a blindside waterproofed building foundation, the method comprising:
- forming a lagging wall;
- applying a monolithic waterproof layer directly to the lagging wall;
- and
- applying a foundation layer to the monolithic waterproof layer,
- wherein an adhesive value between the monolithic waterproof layer and the foundation layer is greater than an adhesive value between the monolithic waterproof layer and the lagging wall.
