Abstract

The present invention relates to a leakage proof member for buildings, particularly to a compressive stress water stopper, which functions as or substitutes a water stop strip in a concrete deformation joint. The compressive stress water stopper may be pre-installed before casting concrete or installed after concrete is cast. The compressive stress water stopper has an upper plate, a fork-shaped rubber plate, a tapered rubber plate and a lower plate whose screw holes are alternately inserted by a plurality of fastening bolts A and B which are fastened by fastening nuts, respectively. The stress and the adhering property of the bicomponent polysulfide rubber securely attach the fork-shaped sheets of the fork-shaped rubber plate to the concrete surfaces at the two sides of the deformation joint and seal the screw holes and the clearances in the concrete.
