Provides guidance on types of constructional sealants and on their selection and correct application. Gives guidance on the selection of sealants for slow moving vehicular and pedestrian areas, it does not cover the selection of sealants intended for areas of more onerous use. Covers definitions, joint design considerations, sealant types, selection tables and their use, sealant preapplication considerations and general application and sealing techniques. Includes several tables and figures.
