→ Question 5 In providing water tightness to an exterior wall. which strategy(ies) have been proven feasible and more likely to succeed? barrier wall approach - sealing every joint/seam in the wall with membranes, sealants, or gaskets regardless of surface conditions or workers' skill levels eliminate or neutralize all force (gravity, momentum, surface tension, capillary action, and air pressure differential) that can move water through the wall ✔Keep the exterior walls from getting wet by providing extra long roof overhang ✓internal drainage system consisting of cavity space, flashing and weep holes

Q-What is the most important measure or method that must be taken to avoid moisture entering the walls and ground floor of the building? Good construction materials should be chosen for high-permanence. Non of them. Make appropriate structural details to prevent water leakage. Avoid cracks in the structural that touch water. Create a barrier of unreinforced concrete along the wall about 15 cm above the level of external walkways to prevent the passage of moisture from the soil.
