WHY BUILDINGS LEAK – TYPICAL PROBLEMS 1.Forces That Cause Moisture Ingress A: Raindrop Momentum B: Gravity C: Capillary Action D: Surface Tension E: Air Pressure Difference 2.Where Moisture Gets In A: Through Cladding (Porosity of Cladding) B: Improperly Sealed or Failed Joint Seals C: Poorly Detailed or Executed Roof-to Wall Interface D: Window Assemblies that are Poorly Designed and/or That Do Not meet ANSI Requirements for Wind Driven Rain or Hurricane Forces E: Poorly Designed Vents, HVAC Units, and Other Envelope Penetrations II. JOINT SEALING 1. Types of Joints A: Structural Expansion Joints and Abutment Joints between Structures (ex. New and Existing) B: Joints at Penetrations to the Envelope (Windows, Doors, Vents, HVAC Units) C: Joints between Dissimilar Materials D: Joints at changes in roof lines, building shape or structural systems E: Joints in cladding panels 2. Fundamental Design Issues Affecting Joint Sealing A: Existence and Emphasis B: Sizing & Movement a) Allowable Construction Tolerances b) Relationship of Calculated Movement to Movement Capability of a Product Type C: Failure to Design in Other than Cross- Section D: Specification of Competitive Technologies E: Continuity & Communication III. JOINT SEALANT PRODUCT TYPES Compression Seals Strip Seals Caulk & Backer Rod Precompressed Sealants IV. INNOVATION AND DESIGN VERSATILITY 1. Double Sided vs Pre-Applied Binary Sealants 2. Watertight & Fire Rated Joints achieved with a Single Installation 3. Factory Fabricated Universal 90’s 4. R-value, STC & OITC ratings, and longevity V. INSTALLATION & QUALITY MANAGEMENT 1.Function of Checklists Learning Objectives: Learning Objective 1: Analyze how watertight, energy efficient, fire-rated expansion joints are the consequence of a process in which we: Design, Detail, Specify, Bid, Erect, Manufacture, & Install in 3-D. Learning Objective 2: Be familiar with product technologies and how to apply them. Learning Objective 3: Why it is critical to require certified performance reports in your specifications. Learning Objective 4: Know that your next building can be a watertight structure. Webinar notes: This will be presented in webinar format in Teams.
