"Most concrete structures have contraction, expansion, and construction joints. Joints can be a path for unwanted matter, liquids, solids, and gaseous substances to enter and pass through the concrete joint and possibly cause damage to the integrity and serviceability of the structure. Waterstops and other preformed joint materials are a primary line of defense against the passage of excessive amounts of these substances."[1]
