Do you need to apply a waterproofing agent like Tuff n Dri to a below grade retaining wall if 5000 psi concrete is used?
the 5,000 psi is the amount of pressure the concrete can withstand before it will crush. it has nothing to do with water proofing. to find out if you need water proofing you need to know how poores the concrete is and how quickly the ground out side will drain water. it only takes about 6 psi for water to penatrate most concrete walls, it is more a matter how long the water is alowed to stay against the wall, there for how far through the concrete it can penatrate if you have a good working drain you will most likely never need water proofing. but if you dont own a backhoe it is far cheaper to put it on the outside before the hole is filled.
