Definitions

  • the invention relates to a sealing arrangement consisting of end walls pressed against each other from two components Concrete, reinforced concrete or the like, in particular of tunnel tube segments; as well as from a strand-shaped seal elastomeric material (i.e. rubber or rubber-like Plastic) to seal the gap between the components or tunnel tube segments, the seal being a base part has, which is based on the sealing part on both sides under Formation of flanges is broadened and by means of this Flanges and corresponding additional anchoring parts one of the two end walls of the components or tunnel tube segments is attached, while with the base part integrally connected sealing part, seen in cross section is of a trapezoidal shape, in relation to the Base part with decreasing width at the same time Tapering the side flanks when pressing the Components or tunnel tube segments to seal the gap takes over.
  • a sealing arrangement consisting of end walls pressed against each other from two components Concrete, reinforced concrete or the like, in particular of tunnel tube segments; as well as from a strand-shaped seal elastomeric material (i.
  • Sealing arrangements of the type described above are for the various uses, known in the following especially on the area of application in tunnel construction, whereby the tunnel tube segments in particular float elements are discussed in more detail.
  • GB-A-22 10 117 presents a sealing arrangement in which two are abutting Tunnel segments each have a circumferential recess in which the sealing profiles Sit elastomeric material, which come to rest back to back.
  • the sealing profiles themselves have strand-shaped groove grooves and channels .. This sealing arrangement with the relative however, small sealing profiles do not allow under the extreme conditions mentioned above reliable sealing.
  • FIG. 1 is the end face (2) of the floating element (1) with two tunnel tubes with a sealing frame (3) equipped elastomeric material, now in the following on the cross section (section line A-A) of the sealing frame is discussed in more detail using various profile structures.
  • the gap (6) is sealed between the two floating elements (1, 4) made of concrete using the Seal (7).
  • the end faces (2, 5) of these components are each covered with a metal plate (8, 9) in the concrete is anchored.
  • the metal plate (8) carries lateral Metal profiles (10) and metal strips (11), the Metal profiles and metal strips using a screw (12) are interconnected.
  • Can be used as a fastener L-shaped steel rails (DE-A-31 01 332) are also used come.
  • the seal (7) itself has a base part (13) which based on the sealing part (14) on both sides to form Flanges (15, 16) is widened. These flanges will be thereby from the metal profiles (10) and metal strips (11) anchored embraced. On the base (17) of the base part (13) are five groove grooves (18, 19, 20) is present, with the X arranged groove (18) at least 30% wider and / or is deeper than the groove grooves on the side (19, 20).
  • the sealing part connected in one piece to the base part (13) (14) is trapezoidal in cross-section, in relation to the base part (13) with decreasing Width while tapering the side flanks (21, 22). These side flanks of the trapezoidal sealing part run at the same angle, i.e. mirror symmetrical related to the longitudinal center plane X.
  • the end face (23) of the sealing part is flat.
  • Fig. 3 now shows a seal (27), the base part (28) with which the seal (7; Fig. 2) is identical in shape. Also the outline of the trapezoidal sealing part (29), namely the Side flanks (30, 31) and the end face (32) are the same. In contrast, the channels running in the form of strands are complete arranged differently. In contrast to the seal (7; Fig. 2) here are the channels within the entire cross-sectional area the trapezoidal sealing part (29) is distributed, in relation to the longitudinal median plane X below essentially mirror-symmetrical arrangement, the Structural principle is explained in more detail below.
  • the total of eight channels are arranged in three rows (rows I, II, III) with respect to the longitudinal center plane X, in such a way that the central channels (33, 34; row II) are located within the region of the longitudinal center plane X, while between this longitudinal center plane and the two side flanks (30, 31) each have the lateral channels (35, 36, 37; row I) or (38, 39, 40; row III), the central channels (row II) at a distance e offset to the side channels (rows I, III) are arranged.
  • the channels are essentially circular Cross-sectional shape, which is in the area of the end face (32) of the trapezoidal sealing part (29) two channels (37, 40) have a smaller diameter than the six channels (33, 34, 35, 36, 38, 39).
  • FIG. 4 now shows two structuring variants of the end face (42) of the seal (41), with regard to the arrangement of the channels is referred to Fig. 3.
  • a variant is in the middle of the end face of the sealing part, namely in the area of the longitudinal median plane X, a only groove (43) available.
  • a practical alternative consists of the end face (42) with several Tooth (44; dashed lines) to be provided.
  • the end seal according to the invention is also for sealing the joints of other components with an equivalent arrangement principle, where at the same time similarly high requirements regarding the sealing performance can be used.
