====== Significance And Use ======
4.1
This guide provides information and guidelines for the selection of components and the design of a built-up bituminous membrane waterproofing system in building deck construction. Where the state of the art is such that criteria for particular conditions are not established or have numerous variables that require consideration, applicable portions of design considerations, Sections
