Abstract:

It was concluded that the electrical resistivity test was not ideally suitable as an inspection tool, but was the only currently available nondestructive test for determining the effectiveness of a waterproof membrane system. Considerable judgment and care were needed to properly conduct the test and interpret its results, but experience in a project on Route 495 showed the procedure to be workable and of help in controlling installation of the membrane system.
