Rubber waterstop belts are widely used in construction engineering for their excellent waterproofing

. Underground Engineering1. Joints between Basement Floors and Side Walls
  • Application Scenario: Construction joints and settlement joints of basement floors and side walls to prevent groundwater seepage.

  • Characteristics: Adopt CB-type embedded rubber waterstop belts, embedded in concrete. The middle hole adapts to structural settlement deformation to avoid leakage through cracks.

  • Case: Post-cast strips in basements of high-rise buildings and underground garages.

2. Tunnels and Culverts
  • Application Scenario: Circumferential/longitudinal joints of metro tunnels and highway culverts, addressing uneven foundation settlement or temperature deformation.

  • Characteristics: Mostly use EPDM rubber waterstop belts (with strong weather resistance), combined with steel-edged rubber waterstop belts to enhance water pressure resistance (e.g., river-crossing tunnels with high water pressure).

II. Hydraulic Engineering1. Dams and Reservoirs
  • Application Scenario: Transverse and longitudinal joints of concrete dams, as well as joints of spillways and canals.

  • Characteristics: Use natural rubber waterstop belts (resistant to fresh water corrosion) or neoprene waterstop belts (resistant to sewage, acids, and alkalis) to prevent reservoir water leakage.

2. Canals and Drainage Pipes
  • Application Scenario: Interfaces of irrigation canals and urban drainage pipes to prevent water from seeping into the soil or structure.

  • Characteristics: Employ flat-type waterstop belts or back-sticking (EB-type) waterstop belts, installed on the outer side of the structure for easy maintenance.

III. Bridge Engineering1. Bridge Expansion Joints
  • Application Scenario: Joints between bridge decks to accommodate thermal expansion, contraction, and dynamic deformation (e.g., from vehicle loads).

  • Characteristics: Use steel-edged rubber waterstop belts or water-swellable rubber waterstop belts (which expand upon contact with water to fill gaps), combined with concrete to prevent rainwater infiltration.

2. Subgrade and Abutment Joints
  • Application Scenario: Connections between bridge abutments and subgrades to prevent water from eroding the foundation.

  • Characteristics: Adopt CP-type embedded waterstop belts (without middle holes) for high waterproofing requirements in settlement joints.

IV. Municipal Engineering1. Subway Stations and Pipe Galleries
  • Application Scenario: Joints of subway station structures, underground pipe galleries, and utility tunnels to resist groundwater and rainwater.

  • Characteristics: Combine EPDM waterstop belts (for long-term outdoor durability) with water-swellable rubber strips for enhanced sealing.

2. Sewage Treatment Plants
  • Application Scenario: Joints of sewage tanks, sedimentation tanks, and pipelines, requiring resistance to corrosive media.

  • Characteristics: Use neoprene waterstop belts (acid/alkali-resistant) or fluororubber waterstop belts (for extreme corrosion resistance in special projects).

V. Special Engineering1. Nuclear Power Plants and Waterproof Structures
  • Application Scenario: Seismic joints and waterproof nodes of nuclear containment structures, requiring high safety and durability.

  • Characteristics: Employ high-quality EPDM waterstop belts with strict temperature resistance (-40°C to 60°C) and radiation resistance.

2. Underwater Structures
  • Application Scenario: Offshore platforms, underwater tunnels, or port foundations exposed to seawater.

  • Characteristics: Use corrosion-resistant EPDM waterstop belts or stainless steel-edged rubber waterstop belts to withstand seawater erosion and high water pressure.

Key Considerations for Application
  • Material Selection: Match the waterstop belt material (natural rubber, neoprene, EPDM, etc.) to the environment (fresh water, seawater, chemicals, temperature).

  • Installation Method: Choose embedded, back-sticking, or steel-edged types based on structural stress and deformation requirements.

  • Joint Type: Differentiate between construction joints, settlement joints, and expansion joints to select appropriate models (e.g., CB-type for deformation resistance, EP-type for simple waterproofing).


By leveraging their flexibility and sealing performance, rubber waterstop belts effectively address water leakage risks in various structural joints, ensuring the durability and safety of construction projects.
