Definitions

  • the present invention relates generally to structural expansion joints and more particularly to expansion joints between structural members such as concrete slabs and the like.
  • Expansion joints are required in most concrete construction. Concrete undergoes physical changes in length, width, height, shape, and volume of its mass in response to changes in the temperature or the mechanical conditions surrounding it. Grooves or expansion joints are placed in a concrete structure to physically subdivide the structure into smaller structural elements. The expansion joints accommodate the compressional forces that are transmitted from abutting structural elements during movement caused by the physical changes in the concrete. Suitably designed expansion joints can preserve the structural integrity and serviceability of the concrete structure.
  • the expansion joints may be covered or filled with flexible sealing material according to the use of the concrete structure. For example, in common parking structures, parking decks are made of concrete slabs.
  • the concrete slabs are separated by expansion joints, which accommodate expanding or contracting motion of the concrete slabs relative to each other due to weather, traffic loads or seismic activity.
  • Watertight rubber or rubber-like seals are installed in the expansion joints to provide, for example, a continuous driving surface on the parking deck.
  • a conventional type of expansion joint seal in use is the so-called bond-in compression seal.
  • This type of seal which is usually made of thin membranes of rubber-like material, is installed by slipping the seal in a state of compression between the concrete slabs. When the concrete slabs expand, the seal contracts in further compression. Conversely, when the concrete slabs contract, the seal expands in tension. Unfortunately, this often results in seal failure (e.g., by dislodgment) due to the loss of compression.
  • the rubber-like seal is provided with thin lateral wings or flaps. These thin lateral wings or flaps are bonded to cutout or blockout areas in the concrete. The blockout areas may extend along the length of the edges of adjoining concrete slabs. Exposed thin lateral wings or flaps are not designed withstand heavy loads or other wear and tear in use. Therefore, the thin lateral wings or flaps are covered by other protective structures.
  • a resin e.g., a two-part elastomeric concrete (EC)
  • EC elastomeric concrete
  • the thin lateral seal wings are secured in position under preformed molded rubber blocks that are bolted to the blockout surfaces using masonry anchor bolts.
  • resins such as elastomeric concrete can be labor intensive in addition to being environmentally hazardous. Drilling holes in precast concrete to place masonry anchor bolts for securing the preformed blocks may undesirably weaken or otherwise damage the concrete structures.
  • the drilling of holes may undesirably interfere with steel cables that are commonly placed in the concrete, for example, for tensioning parking decks.
  • the nose portions at which the thin lateral seal wings connect to the main seal body are still exposed and vulnerable, h some common sealing arrangements, multiple piece structures (e.g., including cover plates and sliding plates) are used to cover the expansion joints to protect the nose portions.
  • multiple piece structures e.g., including cover plates and sliding plates
  • the installation of multiple piece structures is undesirably complicated. Consideration is now being given to ways of improving the characteristics of compression seals installed in concrete expansion joints. In particular, attention is directed to improving the quality and durability of compression seals used in expansion joints, for example, in parking deck structures that are subject to pedestrian and or vehicular traffic.
  • a one-piece watertight compression seal is provided for sealing expansion joints between separate structural elements of a building.
  • the compression seals may be used, for example, in concrete parking deck structures.
  • the compression seals are designed to withstand repeated automobile wheel impacts or other heavy loads.
  • the compression seal has a unitary design in which a compressible sealing portion and a pair of loading-bearing wings are structurally integrated.
  • the compression seal is inherently watertight.
  • the compressible sealing portion which is designed for placement or insertion in an expansion joint, has a generally rectangular cross-section.
  • the load-bearing wings extend laterally from the compressible sealing portion.
  • the load-bearing wings are designed to have sufficient elasticity and strength so that they can be used with exposed upper surfaces without the need for protective covers or the like.
  • the design of the compression seal advantageously simplifies its installation in an expansion joint.
  • the compressible portion may be lightly press fit into the expansion joint.
  • the lateral loading-bearing wings are glued or bonded to the surfaces of the structural elements adjoining the expansion joint, to hold the inserted compressible sealing portion in place.
  • the concrete-contacting lower surfaces of the load bearing wings may be provided with longitudinal grooves that encourage gripping or adhesion.
  • the exposed upper surfaces of the load-bearing wings may be corrugated, for example, to provide traction for pedestrian or vehicular traffic.
  • the compressible sealing portion has an elastic accordion-like membrane structure.
  • the membrane thickness are selected to provide the accordionlike structure with suitable elasticity to respond to changes in the expansion joint width.
  • the thicknesses of the lateral load-bearing wings are selected to provide them with sufficient mass to elastically absorb heavy loads or other wear and tear in use.
  • the vertical thicknesses of the load bearing wings by design may be several times thicker than the thickness of the membranes of the elastic accordionlike structure.
  • the lateral load-bearing wings are connected to the compressible sealing portion at nose portions that are also sufficiently massive and strong to withstand repeated high force impacts in use.
  • the lateral load-bearing wings can be solid but may include one or more channels or openings running along the length of the compression seal.
  • the compression seal can be made by extruding suitable elastic material, for example, ethylene propylene terpolymers including those that are coinmonly known as EPDM rubber.
  • suitable elastic material for example, ethylene propylene terpolymers including those that are coinmonly known as EPDM rubber.
  • the tubular design of the compression seal facilitates extrusion of continuous lengths of the compression seal through an extrusion die. Lengths of the compression seal can be cut, notched, and folded as needed for different application geometries.

Abstract

Selon l'invention, un joint à compression pour joints de dilatation du béton est extrudé sous forme d'unité monobloc à partir d'un matériau caoutchoutique. Le joint à compression comprend une partie d'étanchéité compressible et une paire d'ailes porteuses qui prolongent latéralement la partie d'étanchéité compressible. Cette conception monobloc facilite la mise en place du joint à compression dans un joint de dilatation. Pendant l'utilisation, la partie d'étanchéité compressible s'insère dans le joint de dilatation. Une simple action de fermeture par pression et glissière peut être effectuée pour encliqueter la partie d'étanchéité compressible dans le joint de dilatation. Les ailes porteuses latérales sont fixées à des surface en béton attenantes au joint de dilatation pour maintenir la partie d'étanchéité compressible en place.
