Description: These 17 papers were presented on June 25 and 26, 2014 at the Sheraton Hotel in Toronto Canada after the regular ASTM C24 meeting. The theme of this symposium was largely inspired by a comment made by a member: “Who cares about durability?” The volume of construction sealants compared to the volume of common construction materials on a major project is extremely small, however the building does not perform properly without sealants. Thus, the short answer to aforementioned question is: everyone should care. The durability of a building is directly related to that building’s sealants. This book is the 5th volume concentrating on building sealant durability on an international platform. With the collaboration and dedication of the members of C24 who write and maintain standards, the owners and architects responsible for the world’s iconic structures can be confident of the liquid applied sealant materials that make their buildings safe and comfortable. --
