    This document discusses specifications for materials used in waterstops and joints for concrete structures. It outlines specifications for various metallic (stainless steel, steel, lead, bronze) and nonmetallic (rubber, polyvinyl chloride) waterstop materials. It also discusses specifications for preformed joint materials like compression seals, gaskets, and lubricants. All materials must be tested and meet requirements in specifications like ASTM and Corps of Engineers standards before use.
