Waterproof fabrics are seamed and sealed by waterproof sealing tape to prevent water from penetrating through the stitch holes. As this process may change the mechanical properties of breathable waterproof fabric related to its deformation with human body, the changes in mechanical properties were investigated. In both of parallel and perpendicular directions, tensile characteristics were remarkably changed with seaming and sealing processes. The increase of LT and WT means that the clothing sealed by waterproofing tape may produce somewhat discomfort feeling. On the other hand, the bridge of the sewing thread seemed to be reinforced by waterproofing tape. Shear characteristics such as G, 2HG, and 2HG5 gradually increased with seaming and sealing processes in parallel direction. However, they decreased with sealing process in perpendicular direction because the seam line would work as an axis located at the center of the testing range.

In this study, a numerical model of a shield tunnel with an assembled segmental lining was built. The seismic response of the segmental lining of the section of the shield tunnel in Line 1 of the Chengdu Metro is analyzed as it passes through the interface of sand-cobble and mudstone layers. To do so, the node-stress seismic-motion input method was used to input the seismic motion measured during the 2008 Wenchuan earthquake, and the joint openings and dislocations associated with the earthquake action were obtained. With reference to the Ethylene-Propylene-Diene Monomer (EPDM) sealing gaskets used in the shield tunnels in the Chengdu Metro, numerical simulation was applied to analyze the contact pressure along the seepage paths and the waterproof property under different joint openings and dislocations. A laboratory test on the elastic sealing gasket was also conducted to study its waterproof property. The test results accord well with the numerical results and the occurrence of water seepage in the section of the shield tunnel in Line 1 of the Chengdu Metro during the 2008 Wenchuan earthquake was verified. These research results demonstrate the deformation of segmental joint under earthquake, also demonstrate the relationship between segmental joint deformation and waterproof property.

This study evaluates the objective and subjective hand as well as the preference for hand and outdoor jackets on laminated waterproof breathable fabrics with different constituent characteristics to identify those best suited for consumer needs. Mechanical properties and objective hands were measured by the KES-FB system. The subjective hand and the preference of laminated waterproof breathable fabric for outdoor jackets were rated by the 20's and 30's women experts with tactile and visual senses that utilized a questionnaire with a seven-point semantic differential scale; subsequently, the flexibility and compressive elasticity of laminated waterproof breathable fabrics were low. However, light and thin waterproof breathable fabrics with a smooth surface had high scores in smoothness, fullness & softness and total hand value. In addition, laminated waterproof breathable fabrics were classified into three hand factors: flexibility, density, and surface properties. There were significant differences on flexibility and surface property perceptions, hand and out-door jackets preferences according to the characteristics of waterproof breathable fabrics. The hand preference of the laminated waterproof breathable fabric improved with decreasing 2HB and increasing EM. However, EM showed positive effect for outdoor jacket preferences. Those that were flexible and smooth were preferred for outdoor jackets.

It is recognised that a permeability waterproof agent have been extensively used for concrete, in these days. In present paper shows effective practical scheme of a permeability waterproof agent in construction market that is to develope durability of concrete structure as apply to job site through the examination physical and chemical property of a permeability waterproof agent. It is indentified that can be maintain waterproofing performance, moreover it makes satisfactory result of permeation resistance as applying siliceous waterproof agent.

This paper describes various characteristics of the new compounds for cable jackets and model cables advanced in waterproof performance in order to essentially solve the problems of underground (URD) distribution class power cable failures. Several compounds were manufactured by the inclusion of additives to base resins available in Korea and tested for basic property, mechanical and electrical characteristics. Two model cables were created by using the compounds determined in the test as being the most appropriate for new structured model cable jacket material. The waterproof performance and mechanical strength of the new cable jackets were verified by applicable tests. As a result, MDPE and LLDPE compounds were superior as cable jackets in both mechanical and electrical characteristic aspects when compared with conventional PVC. In addition, the model cables composed of the new compounds based on MDPE showed good quality results in the water permeability test.

To solve some problems that reveals in the exiting stickiness problem of the housetop, the housetop finishing impact layer can be displaced by the existing concrete block. By doing in this way, this need is rising that the excess cost should be reduced and the materials should be recycled in repairing. According to the above, this study is going to suggest the basic data on building and using of the dry process method by estimating and analyzing a overall determinate quantity through the experiment on the insulation performance among the capacity items on the outside insulation waterproof dry process suggested. In addition, choosing the building method according to the use, the peculiar property and the importance of the building can be possible by analyzing the defect causes happening in the rooftop insulation and waterproof, suggesting the better method and classifying the most proper choosing methods for the need of the building according to the importance of the main factors.

The purpose of this study was to create a database of information on the mechanical properties of two different waterproof and breathable shell fabric groups(high density woven and PTFE laminate) used for outdoor apparel and to compare and correlate data of their mechanical properties and hand values. The results of this study were as follows; There were no statistically significant differences between two fabric groups in extension, bending and shearing properties. There were statistically significant differences between two fabric groups in MMD, SMD, LC and we values. High density woven fabrics had smoother surface than PTFE laminated fabrics. PTFE laminated fabrics can be compressed easily more than high density woven fabrics but their recovery after compression was not better than high density woven fabrics. There were statistically significant differences between two fabric groups in NUMERI, FUKURAMI. There was statistically significant difference between two fabric groups in total hand value. Total hand value and mean deviation of MIU had a very high and statistically significant negative correlation coefficient.

The ceramic metal resin paints for waterproof and anti corrosion is not long history in development of materials even many actual result. So far, no standard have been given to construction and maintenance method, Quality and property, it is real state that cannot afford to proper quality control in job site or production. This study has been test for the ceramic metal resin paints for water and anti corrosion, as the result, it have proper performance of job site and mechanical performance of compare to other existing. In particular, tensile strength indicates more high about $14.1N/mm^2$ than epoxy resin paints, and in elongation per unit length is more high It is shows having better adhesive strength than epoxy resin paint for crack on the concrete structure. Moreover, The ceramic metal paint for water and corrosion proofing have to have main performance is watertightness and resistance for external impact, chloride ion permeation, drinkable water elution.
