E-mail: l n o e francis.lung@ s u l a ABSTRACT n o s Almost all underground structures suffer from water leakage problems. r e p r Traditional methods using injection for waterproofing in underground metro tunnels o can only reduce large water leakages; they are not effective in preventing water from F . E seeping into the tunnel. In addition, traditional injection methods cannot prevent C S reinforcing steel corrosion in concrete structures. The reinforcing steel can expand by A t twice its original volume after reacting with water and oxygen in producing ferric h g i hydroxide. This phenomenon causes deterioration and spalling of concrete cover r y p around the reinforcing steel. If this problem is not attended to, the longer-term o C . structural integrity of the tunnel will be impaired. An innovative solution making use 4 1 of the electro-osmosis theory has been devised and implemented in London / 9 2 Underground and the MTR in Hong Kong. It is an effective way of keeping / 3 0 n underground structures dry, and at the same time, protecting the structural integrity of o y reinforced concrete. This paper discusses how the electro-osmosis theory can be g applied to these structures and examples demonstrating how the technology can be o l o applied in real situatio
