Description

  The present invention relates to a method for diagnosing the degree of deterioration of a rooftop waterproofing layer of a building, and more particularly to a method for diagnosing the deterioration of a waterproofing layer of a building roof that can quantitatively evaluate waterproof performance or life expectancy by an electrical method. It is.

  Buildings, particularly various large facilities and large buildings, are often waterproofed with asphalt on the roof to prevent rain leakage. The roof of the building is exposed to wind and rain, exposed to direct sunlight, and in some cases, snow and freezing occur, and waterproof layers (such as asphalt waterproof layers and sheet waterproof layers) gradually deteriorate due to the effects of water, heat, ultraviolet rays, etc. However, it can crack, and if it is severe, it leaks. Therefore, a guarantee period is set for the roof waterproofing layer of the building (generally 10 years), and when the guarantee period expires, the entire surface is uniformly repaired to prevent rain leaks.

  However, even when the warranty period expires, the majority of the waterproof layer is often healthy.Recently, in order to reduce maintenance costs and to reduce the amount of industrial waste generated, if water leakage occurs. The number of cases where partial repairs are increasing. In that case, at present, repairs are made over a wide area with an approximate register by visual evaluation. However, if a protective layer (for example, a concrete roof block) is laid on the rooftop waterproof layer, the state of the waterproof layer cannot be confirmed unless it is removed. Identification is difficult.

  With respect to water leakage due to damage to the waterproof layer, a method has been proposed in which a water leak location of a roof waterproof layer on a building is identified by an electric water leak detector (see Patent Document 1). Here, electrodes are incorporated on the waterproof layer and covered with a conductive medium. Therefore, in the case of a rooftop waterproof structure in which a protective layer is provided on the waterproof layer, an electrode must be incorporated in advance when the rooftop waterproof layer is constructed, which requires a great deal of construction cost. In addition, since the waterproof structure needs to be changed, it may not be applicable to the existing roof waterproof layer. In addition, when the roof waterproof layer is further deteriorated and the insulation resistance value is low, the measurement principle of the electric water leakage detection device (estimating the damage position by obtaining the electrical center position of the potential distribution distortion) does not hold. There is also a problem that it cannot be measured. In other words, even if the location of water leakage due to damage that occurs in a waterproof layer that is in good condition to some extent can be measured, it is only determined as a good waterproof layer if there is no significant damage, and the degree of deterioration of the waterproof layer itself is evaluated. Can not.

Therefore, as a method to quantitatively evaluate the waterproof performance (degradation level) of the rooftop asphalt waterproof layer, a part of the waterproof layer is cut out and material performance tests (tensile strength, penetration, softening point, etc.) are carried out. ing. However, this method only shows a plastic test result and does not necessarily evaluate the waterproof performance. In addition, such a material performance test has a drawback that only information at the position where the sample is taken can be obtained, and surface evaluation cannot be performed. Furthermore, it is necessary to cut out the test material from the field, which inevitably causes a fatal problem that the waterproof layer is partially broken.
Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 10-104104

  The problem to be solved by the present invention is that the waterproof performance cannot be accurately evaluated by the conventional technique, the surface evaluation cannot be performed, and the roof waterproof layer is destroyed for sampling.

  In the present invention, a number of electrodes are temporarily arranged on a rooftop waterproofing layer of a building via a conductor layer, and electrical characteristics are obtained using these electrodes, and non-destructive from the correlation between electrical characteristics and water permeability. This is a method for diagnosing deterioration of a waterproofing layer on a building roof, characterized by evaluating the degree of deterioration of the waterproofing layer. Here, factors representing water permeability include water permeability, water permeability coefficient, water content, etc., and any of them may be used.

  For example, any one of a number of electrodes is an internal current electrode, another is a reference electrode, and a plurality of other electrodes on the survey line including the reference electrode are measurement electrodes. To measure the potential difference between the internal current electrode and the external current electrode and measure the potential difference between the reference electrode and the measurement electrode to obtain the distance potential attenuation characteristic. The degree of deterioration in the vicinity of the measurement region is evaluated from the correlation. In this case, the evaluation can be made based on the magnitude of the potential difference at a position distant from the unit distance, or the potential decay rate. In addition, the volume resistivity distribution is obtained by the quadrupole method using a large number of electrodes, and the degree of deterioration in the vicinity of the measurement region is evaluated from the correlation between the volume resistivity and the water permeability. As the current electrode, install an external current electrode on the building body or ground, determine the current value or volume resistivity between the top and bottom of the waterproof layer with the internal current electrode and the external current electrode, and calculate the current value or volume resistivity. There is also a method for evaluating the degree of deterioration in the vicinity of the measurement region from the correlation with water permeability. Or they can be combined and evaluated comprehensively.

  In this way, when the deterioration degree is obtained over almost the entire surface of the waterproofing layer of the building and a planar distribution map of the deterioration degree is created, it becomes possible to repair a region with a large deterioration degree appropriately based on the distribution map. .

  When sand or the like is laid on the waterproof layer and a concrete protective layer is provided on it, the protective layer is used as a conductor layer, and a number of electrodes are temporarily arranged on the roof block. do it. As the protective layer, there is a structure in which concrete is directly placed, in addition to a structure in which a concrete roof block is placed. When such a protective layer is not provided, a conductive sheet or mat may be laid and a large number of electrodes may be temporarily arranged thereon.

  The deterioration diagnosis method for a building roof waterproof layer of the present invention is a method in which a large number of electrodes are temporarily arranged on the building roof waterproof layer via a conductor layer, and electrical characteristics are obtained using these electrodes. The waterproof performance (deterioration) of a wide range of non-destructive waterproof layers can be achieved simply by temporarily placing electrodes on a newly installed or existing roof waterproof layer (such as an asphalt waterproof layer or a sheet waterproof layer) without constructing a large-scale device. Degree) can be directly and quantitatively and inexpensively diagnosed and evaluated.

  As a result, it is possible to create a planar deterioration degree judgment map, and it is only necessary to perform the minimum necessary repairs at an appropriate time, which has a remarkable effect on reducing rooftop maintenance costs and industrial waste generation. Occurs.

  The rooftop asphalt waterproofing layer of a building is gradually deteriorated as the period elapses due to the effects of heat, ultraviolet rays, rainwater, and in some cases, snow accumulation and freezing due to direct sunlight. The degree of progress of deterioration varies greatly depending on the environment. Generally, fine cracks are generated at the beginning, and the cracks gradually become larger, and eventually undergo significant alteration (hardening, weakening, decay, large cracks, etc.). The expansion of the crack directly affects the waterproof performance. As a matter of course, when the deterioration progresses and cracks increase or the cracks increase, the water permeability increases (it becomes easy to pass water).

  For example, FIG. 1 shows the relationship between the elapsed years and the water permeability under a certain environment. As a matter of course, the deterioration progresses as the elapsed years become longer, and the water permeability increases rapidly. Different environments and materials have different degrees of progress of deterioration, so the relationship of water permeability to elapsed years is different, but the relationship of water permeability to the degree of progress of deterioration is almost constant. Therefore, if the water permeability is known, the degree of deterioration can be evaluated. For example, when the water permeability is about 0.1 to 0.2, the degree of deterioration is 1 (partial repair is performed if necessary), and when the degree of water permeability is about 0.2 to 0.6, the degree of deterioration is 2 (partial repair or large scale). The degree of deterioration can be ranked such that the degree of deterioration is about 3 or more (in principle, large-scale repair is performed). Although it is possible to classify the rank more finely, it is sufficient to classify it into about three ranks from the viewpoint of necessity of repair.

  By the way, since water has conductivity, it is expected that there is some correlation between the water permeability of the rooftop asphalt waterproof layer and the electrical performance. The present invention pays attention to the existence of such a correlation, and measures the electrical performance correlated with the water permeability so that the waterproof performance (degradation degree) directly represents the waterproof performance (degradation degree) and is nondestructive. It is intended to evaluate the degree of deterioration of the waterproof layer.

  As shown in FIG. 2A, a large number of electrodes 10 are usually arranged in a grid pattern on the entire surface of the conductive protective layer 12 provided on the roof asphalt waterproof layer. Depending on the measurement method, as shown in FIG. 2B, the electrodes 10 may be simply arranged diagonally (line-shaped surface arrangement). When the investigation target portion is elongated, the electrodes 10 may be arranged in a line as shown in FIG. Although it is preferable to arrange them at equal intervals in this way, they may be arranged at random as long as the positions can be specified.

  In a typical measurement method, any one of a large number of electrodes is an internal current electrode, another is a reference electrode, and another plurality of measurement lines including the reference electrode are measurement electrodes. An external current electrode is installed on the ground, energized between the internal current electrode and the external current electrode, the potential difference between the reference electrode and the measurement electrode is measured to determine the distance potential attenuation characteristics, and the potential attenuation The degree of deterioration in the vicinity of the measurement region is evaluated from the correlation between characteristics and water permeability. This method is particularly preferable because stable data can be obtained regardless of the electrode installation state and measurement is easy.

  FIG. 3 shows an example of a potential decay curve that is the relationship of the potential difference with respect to the electrode position (distance from the reference electrode). Depending on the degree of deterioration of the waterproof layer, it can be divided into a characteristic in which the potential difference does not attenuate much even when it is away from the reference electrode (curve a), a characteristic that gently attenuates (curve b), and a characteristic that attenuates rapidly (curve c). If the degree of deterioration is low, the potential difference does not attenuate so much, so that the potential attenuation characteristic such as curve a can be determined as the degree of deterioration 1, and similarly, the potential attenuation characteristic such as curve b has the degree of deterioration 2 and the potential attenuation like curve c. The characteristics can be distinguished from the degree of degradation 3. In this case, the evaluation can be made based on the magnitude of the potential difference at a position separated by a unit distance (for example, 1 m), and can also be evaluated by the potential decay rate.

  FIG. 4 is a configuration diagram showing an example of a measurement system used in the deterioration diagnosis method for a building roof waterproof layer according to the present invention. Here, an asphalt waterproof layer 22 is formed on a roof 20 of a building made of reinforced concrete or the like, and a protective layer 24 is provided thereon. Here, the protective layer 24 has a structure in which, for example, concrete roof blocks are arranged and placed on sand. If there is no protective layer, a conductive sheet or mat is provided instead. On the protective layer 24, a large number of electrodes 26 are arranged at equal intervals in a vertical and horizontal grid pattern.

  As the electrode 26, for example, a temporary electrode that can be easily installed and moved, such as a gel electrode, a metal electrode, or a non-polarized electrode, is used. Prior to the measurement, a large number of electrodes are arranged, and after completion of the measurement, these electrodes are removed. The lead wire of each electrode 26 is connected to the measuring instrument 30 through a terminal box 28 having a function of switching connection. Further, an external current electrode 34 is installed on the building body (attic) or the ground, and its lead wire is also connected to the measuring device 30. Then, a predetermined current is supplied from the transmission unit of the measuring instrument 30, and the voltage is measured by the reception unit. The measured data is processed by the personal computer 32. In the measurement, water is sufficiently sprayed, and the protective layer 24 is moistened to impart conductivity.

Arbitrary one of the many electrodes 26 is an internal current electrode, another one is a reference electrode, and another plurality of measurement lines including the reference electrode are measurement electrodes. An external current electrode 34 is provided on the building body or ground. Is installed and energized between the internal current electrode and the external current electrode, and the potential difference between the reference electrode and the measurement electrode is measured. As a result, the distance-wise potential decay characteristic can be obtained. The degree of deterioration in the vicinity of the measurement region is evaluated from the correlation between the potential decay curve and the water permeability. The obtained potential decay curve is, for example,
Y = P × X ^Q
To obtain the potential difference P or the potential decay rate Q. The potential difference P means a potential difference at a position separated by a certain distance (X = 1). FIG. 5A shows the relationship of the water permeability to the potential difference P, and FIG. 5B shows the relationship of the water permeability to the potential decay rate Q. If the water permeability is large, the generated potential difference is small, and the potential decreases rapidly. Conversely, if the water permeability is small, the generated potential difference is large and the potential is difficult to decrease. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 5, the water permeability can be obtained by the magnitude of the potential difference P or by the magnitude of the potential decay rate Q. From the relationship between the water permeability and the degree of deterioration as described above, for example, when the water permeability is about 0.1 to 0.2, the degree of deterioration is 1 (partial repair is performed if necessary), and 0.2 to 0. The degree of degradation can be ranked in such a way that the degree of deterioration is 2 (partial repair or large-scale repair is performed), and the degree of deterioration is about 0.6 or more (in principle, large-scale repair is performed). Therefore, the degree of deterioration can be ranked according to the potential difference P or the potential decay rate Q.

  In addition to such a measurement method, the volume resistivity distribution can be obtained by a four-pole method using a large number of electrodes, and the degree of deterioration in the vicinity of the measurement region can be evaluated from the correlation between the volume resistivity and the water permeability. Specifically, the measurement of the quadrupole method is sequentially performed for each minimum measurement electrode grid. A current is passed through two adjacent electrodes, and the voltage between the two adjacent electrodes is measured to determine the volume resistivity of the region. FIG. 6 shows the relationship of water permeability to volume resistivity. If the water permeability is large, the volume resistivity is low. Conversely, if the water permeability is large, the volume resistivity increases rapidly. Accordingly, the water permeability can be determined by the volume resistivity, and the degree of deterioration can be ranked.

  Alternatively, one of the electrodes arranged on the roof of the building is used as an internal current electrode, and an external current electrode 34 is installed on the building body (attic) or ground, and the waterproof layer between the selected internal current electrode and the external current electrode There is also a method of obtaining an energization current value or volume resistivity and evaluating the degree of deterioration in the vicinity of a selected measurement region from the correlation between the energization current value or volume resistivity and the water permeability.

  These methods may be performed independently or can be comprehensively evaluated by combining them. If the degree of deterioration is obtained over almost the entire surface of the building roof waterproof layer, a planar deterioration degree distribution map can be created. The roof of a building has different effects on the waterproof layer due to differences in sunlight and shade, depending on the structure and orientation, surrounding buildings, and the like. When measurement is performed on the entire waterproof layer on the building roof, for example, as shown in FIG. Therefore, based on this result, it is possible to devise a repair plan that partially repairs a region with a high degree of deterioration, and to efficiently maintain and manage the building.

  In addition, when the volume resistivity of the waterproof layer is high, the leakage current amount distribution is obtained from the potential difference and potential decay rate and the volume resistivity by the 4-pole method, and it is confirmed whether there is a leak location and the location of the leak location. Can also be done.

  As a result of conducting the conventional material performance test (tensile strength, penetration) together with the electrical performance test, a correlation was recognized, and instead of the conventional method, the non-destructive and waterproof performance (degradation degree) was efficiently performed by the method of the present invention. It was confirmed that the evaluation of can be performed. The standard of waterproof performance (degradation degree) enables more rigorous diagnosis and evaluation by taking into account the effects of differences in waterproof structure, climate, region, and the like.
