AGING CHARACTERISTICS OF INFLATABLE RUBBER DAMS UPON EXPIRATION OF THEIR SERVICE LIFE
According to the "GB/T50979 Technical Specification for Rubber Dam Engineering," the design service life of rubber dam bags is generally 15 to 20 years. When the dam bags reach their design service life, systemic problems such as material aging, performance degradation, functional failure, and deterioration of supporting equipment will occur. Conventional local repairs cannot fundamentally solve these problems, indicating that the entire dam bag is due for scrapping and requires complete replacement.
