INTRODUCTION  \nReinforced concrete structures are often used in the construction of bathsand swimming pools. Since they are often in permanent contact with the water contained in the bath or pool, as well as with water in the ground, they must be waterproofed and protected from aggressive agents that could potentially compromise their durability over the years. The guidelines proposed in this manual present measures to be taken during the design phase of hydraulic structures and methods to be adopted to waterproof both new baths and swimming pools and existing structures in need of repair.  \nThe aim of this document is to reduce problems caused by incorrect technical specifications during the design phase or due to errors or a lack of attention to detail during installation work.  \n2. THE HISTORY OF SPA BATHSAND SWIMMING POOLS  \nSince ancient times baths and swimming pools, that is, closed areas of water in general, have been used for various purposes (swimming pools, tanks for keeping or breeding fish, storage tanks for water, pools for medical purposes, etc.) . We just have to remember that, as far back as prehistoric times, people were already immersing themselves in baths of hot water to reap the benefits of their curative and healing properties. The practice of bathing in hot water and the construction of special bathing centres first became common in Ancient Greece thanks to the followers of Asclepius, the God of medicine and healing, who theorised the health benefits of water. The first known bath, however, the remains of which may still be visited today, is the Great Bath built around the III Millennium BC in Mohenjo-daro in what is today known as Pakistan.  \nThe remains of the Siloam and Bethesda Baths discovered near Jerusalem, on the other hand, which were mentioned in the Gospel of St.  \nJohn, date back to the VII Century and III Century BC respectively. These baths were located near the Temple and historians believe they were used by worshippers to cleanse themselves before entering the Temple, as required by religious law at the time.  \nIt was the Romans; however, who came up with the idea of “Thermal”baths (from the Greek word termòs, which means hot, boiling) as places with bathing areas where people could enjoy the therapeutic and hygienic benefits of the water.  \nThese thermal baths or spas, were places where people would meet and socialise. In fact, apart from having baths, changing rooms and gymnasiums, ","cbCainZRFgxtUE0R","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCainZRFgxtUE0R","pdf",3762742,"English","# 1. Introduction\n# 2.
