hi, can you please help me with this question
I have uploaded the textbook p. 65-71 in case if u needed them

1. The materials used to protect foundations from moisture are referred to as either "damp- proofing" or "waterproofing". Damp-proofing materials are water-resistant, but not adequate for resisting the passage of water under hydstatic pressure. Where drainage conditions are poor, or ground water may be present, materials classified as waterproofing are recommended. You are required to complete the following foundation section to include a waterproof membrane on the exterior of the concrete foundation wall, insulation, a drainage system, backfill, and finish grade. Label all features contributing to waterproofing. Refer to chapter 2- Foundations in the textbook p. 65-71. 1 square = 1' (30 cm) 1.5 points Finish grade level 6 4

The deadmen in the horizontal timber wall are timbers embedded in the soil behind the wall and connected to it with timbers inserted into the wall at right angles. The timbers, which should be pressure treated with a wood preservative, are held together with very large spikes or with steel reinforcing bars driven into drilled holes. The crushed-stone drainage reach behind each wall is important as a means of relieving water pressure against the wall to prevent wall failure. With proper engineering design, any of these types of construction can also be used for taller retaining walls
