Comparative study concerning water tightness of tow reinforcement concrete decanters

Abstract

For the constructions with the role of retention and liquid storage, the requirement of water permeability performance under specific operating conditions becomes fundamental. The fulfillment of this requirement is ensured by a complex analysis process concerning the design and construction of the system, among which the waterproofing solution (s) are a priority. This paper presents a case study on the comparative analysis of two practically possible solutions to waterproof the reinforced concrete decanters belonging to a wastewater treatment plant from a waste processing unit of animal origin. Comparative analysis is based on technical, economic, sustainability and time criteria.
