Introduction:
Steel edge waterstop is a rubber waterstop with a non-uniform thickness. It has strong and waterproof zones to ensure even stress on all parts. Add holes on the waterstop’s steel plate to connect with the steel bars. This will ensure a secure, fixed connection that won’t easily displace.
Steel-edge waterstop is a modified rubber waterstop. It has steel plate rings in the middle of vulcanized rubber. The steel-edge waterstop is a top choice for high-pressure, variable-structure sites. It has high liquid-tightness and absorbs shear movements. Use it for expansion and contraction joints.
Applications:
After the structure settles, concrete will shrink and creep. The rubber parts of steel-edge waterstops will stretch and thin to fit these deformations. It won’t affect the bond between the steel plates and the rubber, or the concrete. The steel-edge waterstops can withstand more tension and torsion than traditional ones. They also prevent concrete from loosening, breaking, and leaking cracks.
Steel edge water stop belt (also known as: steel edge rubber water stop belt) is the rubber water stop belt section adopts non equal thickness structure, divided into strong area and waterproof area, so that each part of the force is uniform and reasonable. In the steel plate of the water stop, the installation hole is connected with the steel bar, which is fixed firmly and not easy to be displaced, so that the force of each part is uniform and reasonable. The long wall of the telescopic hole of the steel edge water stop is flat, and the contact surface of the plate mold clamping is large during the construction of the water stop, and it is not easy to displace. The steel plate is connected with the steel bar by adding installation holes, which are firmly fixed and not easy to displace.The steel edge rubber waterstop is mainly applied to theconstruction joints of the waterfront structure of all undergroundstations and sections except the mine station and shield section
Steel-side waterstop, also called steel-edge waterstop, is the upgraded product of rubber waterstop. It can solve the problem mentioned above properly. It is composed of two parts: strength part and waterproofing part. Strength part is made from galvanized steel and waterproofing part is made from rubber, such as natural rubber, neoprene, nitrile rubber and EPDM. Galvanized steel plates are inserted into rubber sheets. Steel-side waterstop is designed with two functions: on the one hand, it can lengthen water passage distance and slow water leakage speed. On the other hand, galvanized steel plates have excellent adhesion to concrete, making steel-side waterstops bear strong tensile force and twisting force. Thus, waterstops will not loose or fall within expected deformation of concrete joints, which can improve the waterproofing performance. Besides, galvanized steel plates are designed of mounting holes connected with steel reinforcing bars, making steel-side waterstops fixed firmly with concrete joints. Steel-side waterstops are mainly used for dams, bridges, tunnels, culverts, basements, retaining walls, foundations, water reservoirs, swimming pools, storage tanks and waste water treatment plants.
