Definitions

  • This invention relates to improved crack inducing and sealing strips for inducing a controlled crack in concrete and thus providing a contraction joint and sealing strip for the joint.
  • the crack inducing and sealing strip once inserted in the wet concrete, does not come out again due to its natural buoyancy and also it is important, after the concrete has set, that the strip cannot fall out or be removed. To ensure this, therefore, a suitable keying device is normally provided on part of the strip. What is more, once the concrete has dried it is important that water does not penetrate through the contraction joint either from above or below the concrete and likewise it is preferable that dust and other dirt does not find its way into the contraction joint when it has opened up.
  • the crack inducer and sealing strips of the present invention are designed to meet all these requirements.
  • a crack inducing and sealing strip for insertion into wet concrete to provide a line of weakness and hence a contraction joint, the strip being extruded from resiliently deformable elastomeric material and being several times deeper than it is wide, there being a keying ridge on each side face of the strip which is preferably formed of a softer material than the remainder of the strip, the strip being hollow and having two spaced apart side walls joined together just :along the top and along the bottom'of the strip.
  • the strip is provided with a laterally extending flange on each of its side faces.
  • the strip is provided with a generally diamond shaped enlargement at its lower end.
  • the upper portion of the strip may be detachable from the lower portion and in a preferred arrangement, therefore, the upper portion is joined to the lower portion by a layer of softer material, said layer extending completely through the said side walls of the strip and being integral with its adjacent keying ridge.
  • the portion joining together the side walls of the strip at their tops may be formed of softer material than the remainder of the strip.
  • the strip is extruded from resiliently deformable materials, e.g. an elastomersuch as a synthetic thermoplastic resinous material, in the form of a generally hollow body having a pair of spaced side walls 1 and 3 joined together at their upper end by a top wall 5 ) joined together at their lower end by a solid diamond shaped enlargement 7.
  • resiliently deformable materials e.g. an elastomer such as a synthetic thermoplastic resinous material
  • the corners 9 of the enlargement 7 project outwardly below the walls 1 and 3 for keying purposes, whereas the corner 11 is designed to be forced down into a mass of wet concrete.
  • the strip is formed by means of a dual durometer extrusion process and substantially midway between the top and bottom of each side wall 1 and 3, a keying ridge 13 is provided, these keying ridges being wider at their extremity than at their root and being of generally trapezium shaped construction.
  • the keying ridges are formed of a softer material than the side walls of the strip and it is preferred that this soft material extends completely through the side walls as shown at 15 so as to provide a line of weakness in each of the side walls 1 and 3 to enable the top portion of the strip to be removed from the remainder of the strip, as will hereinafter be described.
  • laterally projecting flanges formed as extensions of the top wall 5 are provided so as to increase the width of the strip.
  • the strip is about 8 times as tall as its mean width.
  • FIG. 2 An alternative construction of strip is shown in Figure 2, and parts similar to those of Figure 1 have the same reference numerals.
  • the strip differs from that in Figure 1, however, in that keying ridges 13a are provided which are formed of the same materials as the side walls 1 and 3. They could however be formed of a softer material.
  • the side walls 1 and 3 are joined together at their top edges by a strip of soft elastomeric material 5a which is shown as being, but is not necessarily, softer than the side walls 1, 3.
  • This strip of material 5a could be of a foamed construction, or have passages running along its length. It will also be appreciated that the flanges 17 may be omitted.
  • the englargement 7 is of a different construction from that shown in Figure 1. It should also be noted that the shape of the side walls may be altered. They could, for example, diverge more towards the top of the strip. It is important however, that the side walls 1, 3 and the top 5 or 5a of the strip can flex to permit the two strips of concrete on either side of the strip to move relative to each other.
  • the keying wedges 13, 13a after the concrete has contracted, form an extremely effective moisture seal or barrier between the top and bottom of the joint, due to the tension set up as a result of the side walls of the strip being moved apart slightly during contraction.
