Adequate details must be provided for junction, etc

Ensure compatibility between waterproofing and structure
Comment: Structural behaviour can affect selection of waterproofing

Reinforced wall Un-reinforced wall
Stress and crack width controlled by reinforcement.
Likely to be compatible with most waterproofing membranes.
In an unreinforced wall, crack width is uncontrolled.
May exceed strain capacity of some waterproofing membranes.
