What is waterproof steel plate?
In box foundations or basements, the concrete for the bottom plate, exterior wall panels, and top plate is poured and compacted separately. The next time the concrete for the wall panels is poured and compacted, there will be construction cold joints. When the position of this joint is below the groundwater level, it is easy for water to seep. During the concrete pouring process, by embedding waterproof steel plates, when water infiltrates along the joint between the new and old concrete, it cannot continue to penetrate after encountering the waterproof steel plates, thus achieving the effect of blocking the water infiltration path. As the name suggests, its function is to stop water.

The application scope of waterproof steel plate is:
Suitable for structures with groundwater, such as water tanks and other buildings with water, as well as horizontal and vertical construction joints buried below the groundwater level.
What is the opening direction of the waterproof steel plate?
The concave surface faces the upstream side, which may have water pressure, such as the outer wall surface, the outer surface of the roof, and the bottom surface of the floor.
Why do you open your mouth towards the water surface?
When pouring concrete, the notch of the waterproof steel plate faces the upstream surface, allowing air to be discharged upward along the notch to avoid air being blocked by the waterproof steel plate and forming bubbles.
When the concrete is vibrated, the notch of the waterproof steel plate faces the upstream surface, which makes it easier for the vibration force of the vibrator to be transmitted to the concrete below the waterproof steel plate, making it denser and also conducive to the discharge of bubbles.
When the concrete solidifies, the notch of the waterproof steel plate faces the upstream surface, which can distribute the stress generated during concrete shrinkage more evenly on both sides of the waterproof steel plate, reduce cracks between the waterproof steel plate and the concrete, and thus improve the waterproof effect.
