## 3 Loading Modes and Exposure Conditions
### New Proposed Evaluation Method and Criteria  
Based on the loading modes and exposure condition outlined in the above sections, a new evaluation method has been designed and proposed in this study. This method is intended to evaluate the concrete joint load behavior response performance and workability performance of waterproofing membrane systems intended to be used in below-grade construction. Tables 7 and 8 display the evaluation criteria that include all the loading modes outlined above to be used in the test method demonstration.  
\begin{table}
\begin{tabular}{p{113.8 pt} p{227.6 pt}} \hline \hline
**Standard Name** & **Description/Relevance** \\ \hline ASTM D 7832 & A standard guide that oulines the minimum level of acceptable performance and properties of waterproofing membranes in below-grade walls. \\ \hline KS F 4917, KS F 4935 & These test methods outline the required properties of waterproofing membranes. The two standards concern injection type sealants and waterproofing sheet membranes systems in below-grade walls and roofing. \\ \hline GB 50108 & A standard that provides guidelines, list of testing methods, and description of proper workmanship and waterproofing membrane installation in below-grade construction. \\ \hline JASS 8, JJS A 6909, JJS A 6021 & JASS 8 is part of a list of specifications that provide installation practices of waterproofing membranes in concrete structures. JIS provides an extensive list of test methods for various types of waterproofing membranes and required properties, but mostly applies to roofing and above-grade walls. \\ \hline BS 8102:2009 & Practice code for recommended waterproofing design guidelines (3 representative types) in below-grade construction. The code itself does not present a list of performance requirements for specific waterproofing membrane properties but refers to relevant BS standard testing methods. \\ \hline AS 4858, AS 3740 & Standards that outline the performance requirement for waterproofing membranes in the wet areas of building interiors. \\ \hline \hline \end{tabular}
