Reliable sealing of watertight structures
All high quality concrete structures should be watertight to
prevent either the ingress or egress of water depending upon
their intended application. External water sources can be soil
humidity, groundwater or water leakage from another source.
Water retaining structures also must prevent the loss of water
from within the structure. The appropriate sealing method
will depend upon many factors including, water properties,
structural type, loadings and intended use. Traditionally
concrete was sealed externally by the use of mostly
bituminous or plastic liners or coatings and internally with
specially formulated coatings. For the concrete itself a number
of methods of directly sealing construction and movement
joints for cast in-situ, precast and twin-wall construction
have been developed to prevent or limit water penetration.
A “white tank” construction for watertight structures ensures
that the appropriate guidelines are complied with.
Construction and movement joints are an unavoidable
necessity in all concrete structures and they are normally fully
detailed in drawings and specifications.
Construction joints, movement joints and controlled crack
joints can all provide preferential leakage paths for water.
Specific methods and products are therefore needed to
ensure that a watertight seal is maintained.
Injection hose systems, metal water stops, expanding
waterstops or FRANK waterbars can all be used individually
for primary sealing of a joint. They can even be combined
to produce a fail safe sealing method including both primary
and secondary seals.

Cresco ® expanding waterstops
Cresco ® expanding waterstop
The Cresco® range of expanding waterstops is used to seal
construction joints, especially those with complicated geometrical
joint shapes.
Expanding waterstops are used in structures where fresh concrete
is poured against already cured concrete or with already existing
concrete structures and where a construction joint seal must be
produced; e.g. for connections between base slabs, slab-wall
connections or for sealing of recesses, pipe penetrations etc.
The Cresco® range of waterstops all have excellent resistance
to chemicals. A watertight seal is achieved when the expanding
waterstop swells after water ingress into the construction joint.
Expanding waterstops prevent ground humidity, water without
hydraulic pressure and water with hydraulic pressure from
damaging concrete structures.
Features of the Cresco® expanding waterstops:

Fradiflex controlled crack inducer
The Fradiflex element for controlled crack joints provides an
uninterrupted seal between walls and bases/slabs. Additionally,
elements for controlled crack joints are used in the concreting of
large wall sections.
Cross sections with controlled cracks require sufficient weakening
of the concrete and of the reinforcement integrated in the concrete.
Controlled crack inducers ensure that cracks produced inside any
concrete structure as a result of normal shrinkage will be extremely
homogeneous. For performance class A, a joint sealing system
must be additionally installed.
The use of controlled crack inducers together with Fradiflex metal
waterstops produces a compact sealing system, which complies
with the WU guideline.
■ Excellent inherent stability of the controlled crack inducer
■ Quick and simple fi xing, no welding required
■ Precise connection to the upper or lower end of the controlled
crack inducer

Fradiflex metal water stops
Fradiflex element wall’s controlled crack
joint flashing
Twin-wall construction is an increasingly popular alternative to
cast-in-situ construction. Safe and simple sealing systems are
also required for these structures. The guideline for watertight
structures requires that the vertical joints of element walls must
be controlled crack joints.
Fradiflex metal waterstops for the sealing of vertical joints in twinwall construction are very stable and require minimal fi xing. At
the junction of base slab/wall they are simply overlapped and
clamped to the horizonatl Fradiflex waterstop. The upper end only
requires temporary support using reusable fi xing angles which are
removed near the end of concreting.
■ The elements for joint and corner are supplied ready made in
conformity with wall heights
■ Simple overlapping of sections – no time-consuming welding
is required
■ Tight sealing system
■ Simple fi xing
■ No intermediate fi xing required
Fradifl ex metal water stops for element wall’s controlled crack joint fl ashing do not need
to be fi xed to the element walls.
Due to the inherent stability of the sheet steel, the upper ends of the metal water stops
must only be fi xed with re-usable fi xing loops.

Permur ® system
The Permur ® system is used for the watertight and flexible
installation of services into concrete structures. The system
consists of either a fibre cement pipe or a special mould to form
the opening and a set of seals. The seals are manufactured from
different materials and come in different seal versions depending
on the individual customer requirements. With the Permur ® system
we provide a durable wall penetration in areas with and without
hydraulic pressure.
The Permur ® pipe penetration system is mainly used for watertight
concrete structures and it has proved to be the optimal solution
for sealing service and sanitation pipes into basements.
For the circular chases in concrete walls either Permur ® fibre
cement pipes can be used. Permur ® seal inserts are directly
placed into the circular chase.
The Permur ® liner pipe system has been tested on water tightness
and it is approved by test certificates. Tests were carried out in
conformity with DIN 1048 part 5; further laboratory test reports

Joint types
Construction joints
A vertical or horizontal surface in reinforced
concrete where concreting was deliberately or
unintentionally stopped and continued later. The
surface between the two pours should always be
properly prepared to ensure intimate connection as
these joints are not normally considered in static
calculations.
Options for sealing construction joints include the
use of metal waterstops, expanding waterstops,
injection hoses or FRANK waterbars.
Movement joints
A gap in a structure that allows its components to
move with respect to each other. The cause of such
movement may be thermal, seismic or wind loading
and movement should occur without rupture or
damage.
Expansion joint
Designed joint between structural elements that
is able to absorb movements caused by thermal
expansion, creep and shrinkage or by other
deformations.
Expansion joints are especially required for the
connection of different materials with differing heat
expansion coefficients, large structural elements
and complicated structures. The reinforcement is in
this case discontinued and loads are transferred via
dowels, e.g. the transverse force dowel Egcodorn®.
Crack-control section
(Controlled crack joint or dummy
joint)
Intentional weakening of the structural element’s
cross section including weakening of the
reinforcement integrated in this cross section for
production of a local crack. Controlled crack joints
are sealed by elements for controlled crack joints.
Note:
In case of element wall’s controlled crack joints
please take care that cracks are especially
produced in the joint section of the element wall.
For this purpose, use Fradiflex controlled crack
inducers, however, please avoid the installation of
additional rebars. Additional rebars in this case
will have a negative effect by producing further
undesirable cracks weakening the system.
Cracks
Cracks may result from various sources including
overloading and in severe cases they may effect the
full width of a concrete element.
Cracks need to be treated when they are a potential
threat to the durability of the reinforcement or are
causing unacceptable leaks. Injection should not
be used for cracks resulting from reinforcement
corrosion. The minimum limit for crack injection is
about 0.1mm width. A wide range of resins can be
used to seal these cracks.
Expansion joints are sealed by using FRANK
waterbars.
Separation joint
Intentionally
produced
separation
between
structural elements or buildings. Structural elements
are not statically interconnected. Separation joints
are normally sealed using appropriate FRANK
waterbars.
