Description
Summary:The research is mainly focusing on the difference between two types of waterproofing materials namely modified bitumen and polymer acrylic. The study is conducted based on the previous work done on two Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia (UKM) buildings, located in Bangi, Selangor, which use different materials on waterproofing maintenance works. The research also will be reviewing five different brands on its price tag and the curing time between two types of waterproofing materials. The main problem on this topic is regarding the awareness of the maintenance workers on which materials are best and suitable to use in a Malaysian climate. Since the outbreak of Covid-19, the observation towards the building itself has halted due to the Movement Control Order (MCO) and will proceed to the interview sessions and set of questionnaires given to the maintenance workers. Regardless, data collection from aforementioned methods are sufficient in achieving the research aims and objectives.
