Dependence between the thickness and the strength of joints of one-layer bitumen sheets

This paper focuses on the examination of interdependence of thickness of bitumen sheets and strength characteristics of their mechanically fastened joints. Bitumen sheets with two different thicknesses, which are to be used as single-layer mechanically fastened waterproofing membranes, were chosen as samples for experimental measurements. The aforementioned dependence has still not been explicitly documented. The aim of this paper is to confirm or refute the hypothesis that a relationship exists between different thicknesses of bitumen sheets and strength of their joints. The formulation of the results was based on statistical evaluation of laboratory measurement data.
